Confusion erupted outside a courtroom as supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) clashed with police officers enforcing strict entry restrictions. The heated scene unfolded during a high-stakes ruling on disputed parliamentary seats, an issue that has heightened political tensions in recent months.
Police officers, acting on directives to limit the number of people allowed into the courtroom, faced resistance from agitated party supporters, some of whom accused the officers of favoritism. The chaotic confrontation briefly disrupted proceedings as party members insisted on being allowed entry to witness the case.
Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was equally intense as legal teams from both sides presented their arguments. The rulings are expected to impact the parliamentary balance of power, making these cases pivotal for both parties.
The police have urged calm and compliance with the court’s orders, emphasizing the need for security and order within the precincts. Meanwhile, both the NDC and NPP have called on their supporters to exercise restraint and allow due process to prevail.
With the rulings eagerly anticipated, the courtroom drama underscores the deeply rooted political rivalries that continue to define Ghana’s democracy.
