Top Story: Parliament at War Over Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill | Bagbin vs Ayariga in Major Showdown

Parliament is locked in a dramatic constitutional standoff over the controversial Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill.

Speaker Alban Bagbin has halted the transmission of the bill, ruling that Parliament breached its own Standing Orders during its passage and directing MPs to reconsider a fresh third reading. But Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga strongly disagrees, insisting Parliament followed the correct procedure and that the Speaker cannot reverse the House's decision.

As the fate of the bill hangs in the balance, Top Story examines the growing tensions between the Speaker and the Majority Caucus, the legal and procedural questions surrounding the bill's transmission, and the reactions from religious groups, civil society organizations, and governance experts.
