Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu: Why Parliament Clerk's Letter to EC Over Kpandai Seat Vacant Was Unnecessary

Former Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu explains why the Clerk to Parliament’s letter to the Electoral Commission declaring the Kpandai seat vacant was premature, unnecessary, and inconsistent with past parliamentary practice. In this detailed conversation, he breaks down the constitutional issues, the Speaker’s earlier rulings, and why no Clerk acts independently in matters involving parliamentary vacancies. He also questions what changed between the Gyekye-Quayson case and the current Kpandai situation. Joining the conversation is Dr. Tony Aidoo, who delivers a candid, hard-hitting assessment of Parliament’s behaviour and the growing culture of partisanship.
