Chaos broke out in Ghana’s Parliament on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, when the Minority Caucus launched a fierce protest to prevent what they called an unlawful attempt to remove Kpandai MP, Matthew Nyindam, from the House before the Court of Appeal delivered its final ruling.

The protest forced the Speaker to suspend the sitting as Minority MPs left their seats, gathered at the center of the chamber, and blocked the proceedings from continuing.

Speaking to the press after the chaotic incident, Bosome Freho MP, Nana Ayeh Asafo-Agyei, sharply criticized the Majority leadership and the Parliamentary Service. He vowed that the Minority would not tolerate any action to declare Nyindam’s seat vacant until all legal processes were fully completed.

He questioned the validity of a letter sent by the Clerk to Parliament to the Electoral Commission, declaring the Kpandai seat vacant, arguing that it violated the Speaker’s earlier ruling to await the final court decision.

According to Asafo-Agyei, the Clerk had acted outside the Speaker’s authority.

“The Speaker gave a clear directive, and now we see a letter sent to the Electoral Commission. This contradicts the Speaker’s own position,” he said.

The Bosome Freho MP accused the Majority of abusing their numerical advantage and power, stressing that the Minority would not allow such actions to go unchallenged.

“Until the Speaker orders the letter to be withdrawn and until the court proceedings are completed, nothing will move forward. If they want to, they can bring in the military to force us out. We will make sure the right thing is done,” he declared.

Asafo-Agyei further argued that the Clerk’s actions undermined parliamentary procedures and breached previous rulings on similar cases involving MPs whose seats were contested in court.

Earlier, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga condemned the Minority’s “repeated and organized protests,” accusing them of deliberately disrupting parliamentary activities.

The Bawku Central MP expressed little surprise at the Minority’s behavior, claiming that they were using disruptive tactics to prevent the Speaker from making important rulings.

Tensions reached a boiling point after Ayariga’s comments, as Minority MPs rose from their seats, marched to the center of the chamber, and chanted in opposition to the declaration that the Kpandai seat was vacant.

Cameras captured dramatic scenes in the chamber, with MPs shouting, pushing, and papers flying across the floor. Assin South MP Rev. John Ntim Fodjour was seen angrily confronting a colleague during the heated exchange.
