Alan Kyerematen, founder of the Movement for Change and independent presidential candidate, criticizes the ongoing impasse between Ghana's Supreme Court and Parliament, describing it as detrimental to the country's democracy. He argues that both institutions have mishandled the issue of vacant parliamentary seats, with the Supreme Court's actions deemed unconstitutional and Parliament's potential rejection of the court's ruling as a breach of law. Kyerematen emphasizes the importance of resolving this conflict before the upcoming general elections to ensure a peaceful democratic process.

Kweku Paintsil, a private legal practitioner, criticizes the ongoing court case over vacant parliamentary seats, highlighting inconsistencies in the process. The Supreme Court recently denied Speaker Alban Bagbin's request to overturn a ruling on four vacant seats, a decision challenged by Effutu MP Alexander Afenyo-Markin. The seats in question are held by MPs from the NDC and NPP, representing various regions in Ghana. Paintsil argues that the inconsistencies suggest an agenda to create a hung parliament.

The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, criticized the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, for engaging personal lawyers in a Supreme Court case concerning the status of four legislators.

The Supreme Court adjourned the case to November 11, with Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo setting a deadline for the Speaker to file documents.
