Counting of ballot papers to determine who will become the Speaker of the Eighth Parliament was disrupted when the Member of Parliament (MP) elect for Tema West, Kingsley Carlos Ahenkorah, snatched some ballot papers and attempted to flee from the Chamber.
That was after Mr. Ahenkorah who was not part of those counting the ballot papers had sensed the possibility of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) nominated Speaker, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, losing out to his National Democratic Congress (NDC) proposed candidate, Mr. Alban Bagbin.
That interruption came after the counting of the first set of ballot papers by the clerks of Parliament and the NDC member for Asawase, Mohmmed-Mubarak Muntaka, had signaled his colleague NDC MPs-elect that they had won the first counting by two votes.
