Parliament approves Akufo-Addo’s 2021 budget in a 137 vs 134 vote outcome

Parliament has approved the 2021 budget after a secret vote.

After the voting, 137 MPs voted in favour of approving the budget as against 134 MPs voting against the budget.

The Minority earlier rejected the outcome of the voice vote after calling for the rejection of the budget due to its tax component.

The Speaker granted the application of the Minority for a headcount amid controversy on the Floor.
