Ghana's parliament passed the 2026 budget amid chaos over a contested seat, sparking protests and physical altercations.

Ghana’s parliament approved the 2026 budget estimates amid chaos after the Minority Caucus protested the declaration of the Kpandai seat as vacant, claiming the move was premature amid ongoing legal challenges. The dispute triggered a near-scuffle, with MPs from both sides clashing, prompting marshals to intervene. The Majority pushed forward with the vote, citing procedural order, while the Minority condemned the process as illegitimate and vowed continued resistance until the issue is resolved.
