Ghana’s democracy has been shocked after armed military men stormed the country’s parliament during its dissolution on the dawn of Thursday, January 7, 2021.
The military entered the parliament due to misunderstanding between the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the dissolution of the 7th parliament of the 4th republic.

The Incident
The incident got to do with the decision by the NPP MPs elect, to show their ballots cast for the position of the Speaker of Parliament.
The NDC said the behaviour of the NPP was constitutionalised hence would not allow that to happen.
The situation brought the vote to a standstill for almost two hours.
The voting was restarted after 4:30 am.
