Today, on November 30, 2023, Parliament is poised to conduct a crucial headcount for the approval of the 2024 budget.

This was contained in the order paper of Parliament.

The controversy erupted after Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, declared a voice vote in favor of the majority on Wednesday, November 29, following the conclusion of the budget debate.

In response, the minority caucus challenged the Speaker's ruling and insisted on a headcount, leading the majority to stage a walkout in protest.

The ensuing chaos prompted the Speaker to suspend sittings temporarily, eventually returning to adjourn proceedings.
