As Parliament reconvenes tomorrow October 15 from recess, Former Minority Leader and MP for Tamale south Haruna Iddrisu, is promising of an interesting session.
He says the NDC caucus of the house will invoke Article 97 (1)(g) of the constitution to compel colleagues from three NPP MP’s and one NDC to vacate their seat thereby making the NDC majority in the house.
This comes after three sitting members Suhum, Agona West and Amenfi Central declared their intention to seek re-election as independent candidates while the second deputy speaker an independent MP is contesting on the ticket of the NPP.
Speaking at a rally in the tamale north constituency, Haruna Iddrisu said Article 97 (1) (g) states that: A member of Parliament shall vacate his seat “if he leaves the party of which he was a member at the time of his election to Parliament to join another party or seeks to remain in Parliament as an independent member.”
