After a secret ballot, the Speaker said Parliament was unable to obtain the 184 needed to pass the bill. The Majority got 125 votes.
The vote quashing the change became predictable after the Minority signaled it would not support the Bill which needed a super majority to succeed.
Adom News' Abednego Asante Asiedu reported that, out of the 148 MP in the Majority caucus, only 125 were present at the time of voting. He said the Majority Whips were working to increase their numbers.
Although the Minority controls 122 MPs, not all of them were present.
Adomonline.com gathered that the party agreed to kick against the billl at a caucus meeting Wednesday night.
With a weakened Majority in Parliament, it was feared the Bill will fail to pass.
The results means that Ghanaians would have to cast their ballots on December 7, 2016.
The historic change has failed.
