Amid chaotic scenes in the Parliament in Ghana a married MP
sat on the lap of another as they jostled over seating positions.
There was confusion over which party had the majority and
this resulted in MPs from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) side occupying
seats meant for the majority. When the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs walked in,
they had no choice but to occupy the minority section.
“When the New Patriotic Party MPs came in, they saw that we
were on the right side so they went to the left but Ursula refused. Cletus
Avoka was sitting down and decided to go to the washroom, by the time he came
back Ursula had taken his seat. We tried to persuade her but she declined. She
also left the seat and I sat on it. When she came she just sat on my lap. She
didn’t say anything to me, she just sat and I didn’t say anything,”
“She sat on my lap. I didn’t sit on her lap. My wife should
be complaining and not her husband,” Mr Akandoh told reporters.
