The Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale North constituency, Suhuyini Alhassan was on Wednesday ordered to leave the Chambers after disrupting Parliamentary proceedings.
According to Peace FM's Parliamentary correspondent, Emmanuel Akorli, Hon Suhuyini started interfering with proceedings after the Majority Members in Parliament asked the minority side to apologise to MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Lydia Alhassan for calling her a 'bloody widow'.
1st Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu describing the Tamale North MP's conduct as 'unparliamentary' asked the ushers to direct him out of the House.
The Minority side however refused to apologise.
Background
On Tuesday, as Lydia Alhassan was being sworn in as MP, the NDC MPs staged a walk-out while holding placards with the inscription “bloody widow.”
Mrs. Alhassan is the wife of the late Emmanuel Agyarko, who was the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon until his passing in November 2018.
Lydia Alhassan contested and won the seat amidst violence in one polling centre.
The NDC has however decided not to acknowledge her until perpetrators of the violence are dealt with but the Majority insists she had nothing to do with the violence.

Infact some of the mps aren't fit for that position at all they are there not helping those they represent but jx making money the voters should check out their habits b4 voting for them bcos they are disgraced to the house Suhuyini is one of the
Apologised for what
This man should go back to Radio Gold and continue his ***barred word*** work. Even Bagbin who came to parliament with about 5,000 votes is considered to be in parliament. You people have short memories, you have forgotten what happened at Talensi, Akwatia and Atiwa. Sit Sam George down and advise him respect an elderly. Just one slap was not sufficient. Atleast 3 would have been better.
so what exactly did Hon. Suhuyini Alhassan do to be sent out of parliament?
Kwaku, By common usage 'Mrs' means 'wife of'. So Mrs Alhassan means wife of Mr Alhassan which Lydia is not. Maybe the term Madam Lydia Agyarko is more appropriate if you want to link Lydia to Hon Bro Emmanuel Agyarko. This has got nothing to do with polygamy.
"The NDC has however decided not to acknowledge her until perpetrators of the violence are dealt with but the Majority insists she had nothing to do with the violence". I bet my last pesewa on this IF NDC DOES NOT CARRY THIS THREAT THROUGH AT EVERY TIME THIS LADY SPEAKS, THEN NDC IS..........NDC is nation wreckers! They always bring Ghana BACK. NEVER allow NDC to come to power EVER!
Where do you come from,Akua? Tell us when polygamy was outlawed in Ghana?
How can Mrs. Alhassan be the wife of Mr. Agyarko. How does the reporter understand the prefix 'Mrs'?
