Accra, Oct 15, GNA – Mr Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business in Parliament has filed an injunction at the Supreme Court.

This is seeking to place an injunction on the House from compelling sitting Members of Parliament (MPs), who had filed to contest as independent candidates in the December 7 general election to vacate their seats.

The Majority Leader made this revelation on Tuesday during the Leaders’ Media Briefing at Parliament House in Accra.

The writ, he said was in response to a memo to the Speaker by Mr Haruna Iddrisu, a former Minority Leader and National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Tamale South, requesting that three sitting MPs who were contesting the 2024 general election as independent parliamentary candidates and a current independent Member of the House, who was now contesting on a political party’s ticket be made to vacate their seats in Parliament.

The three sitting MPs who are contesting this year’s general election as independent candidates include Madam Cynthia Mamle Morrison, NPP MP for Agona West, Mr Kwadjo Asante, NPP MP for Suhum and Mr Peter Yaw Kwakye-Ackah, NDC MP for Amenfi Central.
