For the second time, the meeting of the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin with the leaders of the NDC and the NPP to determine who would become the majority or the minority as well as the Caucus to chair the various committees of the House, ended in a inconclusive.
Sources close to the meeting say leaders on both sides have been entrenched in their positions and do not want to compromise.
Due to the current stalemate, the leaders of both sides have been urged to return tomorrow and continue negotiations to resolve the outstanding issues.
In addition, the chief whips of the NDC and NPP caucuses have been tasked with working with some officials in the Parliamentary Service to find offices for their members who do not have one.
It should be remembered that there has been a chaotic disruption of the work regarding the President of the Election and the possible inauguration of the 8th legislature
The confusion in parliament was the result of an impasse between NDC MPs and NPP MPs over the voting processes for the election of a new president.
The NDC insisted on a secret ballot in accordance with the law, believing that some NPP deputies were planning to vote for its candidate.
At a time when NDC MPs were not happy with the process, they ransacked the voting areas, which led to the process being stopped.
Later, military and armed police stormed the House of Parliament to confront NDC deputies. When tensions eased, Mr. Bagbin was finally elected president.
