The minority had referred to the new Ayawaso West Wuogon MP as a "Bloody Widow".

As the video below shows, the deputy speaker who found the conduct of Alhassan Suhuyini unbecoming of a lawmaker was quoted as saying: “Honourable Member for Tamale North, Kindly leave the house.”

The second deputy majority leader of Parliament, Matthew Nyindam, had early on in the day, moved a motion on the floor of parliament asking the Minority to apologise to Alhassan.

He backed his motion with Standing Order 93(2), which reads: “It shall be out of order to use offensive, abusive, insulting, blasphemous or unbecoming words or to impute improper motives to any member or to make allusion.”

The minority MPs said they boycotted Alhassan’s investiture because they did not want to give credence to her victory in the by-election on Thursday, 31 January 2019, which was characterised by violence.
