Political Drama Erupts as NDC Secures Supermajority with Swearing-In of Ewurabena Aubynn

Ghana's Parliament has been thrown into political tension following the swearing-in of Ewurabena Aubynn as the new Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, which grants the National Democratic Congress (NDC) a powerful two-thirds majority. The event was marred by a dramatic walkout from the Minority New Patriotic Party (NPP), protesting the circumstances of her election and the Speaker's rulings. Concerns have been raised by opposition figures and civil society about the risks of the NDC potentially abusing its supermajority, while the Speaker and Majority Leader have publicly cautioned against using their numbers to bully the minority. Ewurabena Aubynn's victory and subsequent appointments have also been clouded by allegations of electoral violence. Despite the controversy, NDC leaders assure Ghanaians that their majority will be used responsibly to advance reforms and not to undermine democratic principles.
