Martin Amidu
Following a Supreme Court ruling on November 12, 2024, that declared Speaker Alban Bagbin’s actions unconstitutional, former Attorney General Martin Amidu criticized Bagbin's defiance.
The controversy began when Bagbin declared four MPs’ seats vacant after they announced their intent to run as independents, despite a Court order on October 8, later reaffirmed on October 30, instructing him otherwise.
