Protect The Constitution; Not The Wishes of Any Person – NDC Youth Wing Urges Supreme Court
The Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed its disappointment in the Supreme Court’s ruling on Wednesday, March 9, 2022.
According to the ruling, a Deputy Speaker of Parliament can be part of quorum and vote, while presiding over proceedings in the House.
But on Thursday, the National Youth Organiser of the NDC, George Opare Addo, issued a statement, stating that, the ruling by the apex court undermines the independence of Parliament, as well as the effectiveness of the country’s democracy.
According to the NDC’s Youth Wing, all the relevant arms of government, must be allowed to operate effectively, and therefore the verdict by the Supreme Court is not in order.
They subsequently called on the Court to protect the integrity of the 1992 Constitution in the discharge of its duties.
