Bagbin Gives Agalga Choice to Sit on Ayariga or Plastic Chair Until Paperwork Clears

Speaker Alban Bagbin has offered James Agalga two temporary seating arrangements after declaring that incorrect paperwork prevents him from fully occupying the Majority Leader’s chair. Since Mahama Ayariga must remain in the seat until the NDC communicates properly, Agalga may either use a plastic chair marked “ACTING” or sit directly on Ayariga.

Parliamentary attendants have placed the plastic chair beside the Majority Leader’s desk but warned that it carries no constitutional backrest. Agalga may lead government business from it, provided he sits lightly, avoids crossing his legs and does not open any desk drawers before the caucus formally accepts him.

The Ayariga option would allow Agalga to exercise leadership without technically removing the current occupant. Ushers are now measuring whether both men can rise when the Speaker enters without accidentally creating a leadership vacancy. The NDC has been urged to deliver corrected communication before Parliament must determine whether Ayariga’s knees qualify as part of the Majority front bench.

This is satire. The source story is real; the conclusions have been faithfully misinterpreted.
