Hundreds of NPP Supporters Storm Parliament Ahead of ‘Showdown’
Hundreds of New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters have gathered at Parliament House in Accra today, in anticipation of a political showdown. The demonstrators arrived in large numbers, expressing their support for the party amidst a high-stakes parliamentary session following a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Parliament reconvenes today after the Supreme Court overturned a controversial decision by the Speaker of Parliament. The ruling had previously declared four parliamentary seats vacant, sparking significant political tension. With the court’s decision to reinstate these members, today’s session is expected to be particularly intense, drawing interest from party supporters and the general public alike.
Supporters Arrive in Numbers
According to a report by TV3 Ghana, hundreds of NPP supporters were seen clad in party colors, chanting slogans and waving banners as they gathered outside Parliament House. Many of these supporters were bused in from Nsawam Adoagyiri, a stronghold of the NPP. Notably, one of the buses used to transport the supporters belonged to Nsawam Senior High School (Nsawam SHS), further highlighting the party’s organized mobilization efforts.

The NPP supporters have expressed their hope that today’s parliamentary session will reaffirm their confidence in the party’s leadership and serve as a turning point in the ongoing political standoff. With tensions running high, the presence of these supporters adds to the charged atmosphere surrounding the parliamentary session.
Supreme Court Ruling Sparks Showdown
The current political tension stems from the Speaker of Parliament’s earlier decision to declare the four seats vacant, a move that the Supreme Court found to be unconstitutional. This legal reversal has paved the way for today’s parliamentary sitting, which many predict will be a decisive moment in the party’s efforts to retain key parliamentary seats.
Party leaders have called for calm and urged their supporters to show restraint as Parliament navigates this critical issue. However, the sheer number of NPP supporters gathered outside the House indicates the level of public interest and the high stakes involved.
