A Pro-NPP activist with an X user account, Gen. Buhari, has been exposed for deceiving the public on the main reason supporters of the New Patriotic Party have been spotted at Parliament.
Accra-based TV3 in a post revealed that supporters of the NPP have been bused to Parliament House in a show of support for their party as tensions rise over the leadership structure in Parliament.
In response, Gen. Buhari wrote, "They only went for a health walk."

A comment from one of the members of the party on the grounds contradicted this assertion. A male member who engaged the press said, "We are Parliament as at now and we are here to protect NPP, Ghana and our Parliament. So that is all."
According to reports, over ten Sprinter buses, carrying hundreds of NPP loyalists clad in party apparel, arrived at Parliament. Most of these supporters were from the constituency of NPP Caucus Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh.
The current crisis stems from Speaker Bagbin's October 17 declaration of four vacant seats—three belonging to the NPP and one to the NDC—shifting the balance of power. With the NDC claiming 136 seats to the NPP's 135, they declared themselves the majority, sparking confusion and contention over who holds power in the House.
Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling on October 18, which stayed Speaker Bagbin's decision and allowed the four MPs to continue in their roles until the case is fully resolved, the NDC has refused to relinquish its claim to the majority. They argue that Parliament is independent and should not be subject to the court’s influence.
As Parliament reconvenes today, the standoff remains unresolved, with both sides jostling for control. The arrival of NPP supporters has heightened the anticipation over how this political struggle will unfold.
