Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin
The Speaker of Parliament has deferred the matter regarding the petition to declare the seats of four members of Parliament vacant.
This decision came after hearing arguments from both the Majority and Minority sides of the House concerning the petition brought forth by former Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu.
The development follows the move by Haruna Iddrisu to invoke Article 97 (1)(g) of the Constitution to vacate the seats of three Majority MPs and one NDC MP.
The provision in question states that an MP shall vacate their seat if they leave the party they were elected under or seek to remain in Parliament as an independent candidate.
