Speaker Bagbin declares annulled MPs – elect ineligible for swearing-in on January 6, 2025.

Speaker Alban Bagbin has ruled that the MPs-elect whose seats were annulled by the Ghanaian Electoral Commission (EC) are ineligible to be sworn-in on January 6, 2025. This decision was taken after the EC declared that some parliamentary seats would not be sworn-in due to irregularities that occurred during the 2024 general elections. The Speaker, in his statement, emphasized that the law does not permit a person to occupy a seat to which they were not lawfully elected. As a result, the MPs-elect whose seats were annulled cannot be sworn-in as Members of Parliament. The Speaker’s ruling has sparked mixed reactions, with some political parties and individuals criticising the decision, while others have welcomed it. The controversy surrounding the parliamentary seats has cast a shadow over the country’s political landscape and has raised questions about the sanctity of Ghana’s electoral processes.
