Political Tensions Erupt as NDC Secures Supermajority and Swears In Controversial MP

Ghana's Parliament has been rocked by political drama following the swearing-in of Ewurabena Aubynn as the new Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, an event boycotted by the Minority NPP in protest. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) now holds a two-thirds supermajority, raising concerns from opposition figures and civil society about potential abuse of power. Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin and Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga have both publicly cautioned the NDC against using their numbers to marginalize the Minority, promising responsible governance and constitutional reforms. The legitimacy of Aubynn's election has been questioned by some, citing violence during the polls, while others celebrate her resilience. The developments signal a new era in Ghanaian politics, with heightened scrutiny on how the NDC will wield its parliamentary dominance.
