I beg to differ with Kwaku Azar.The Constitution is quite clear.The Constitution does not mention the next Parliament.The provision in the Constitution is quite definite about the current Parliament and that was how Professor Mike Oquaye took that decision to declare Asiamah's seat vacant.The same principle must apply again this time round.
Thanks.

You see how how human laws are ambiguous? Law experts always skew the law to favor their own interests. I disagree with Azar that the court should declare a seat vacant, but not the Speaker of Parliament. When an MP dies, the seat is vacant. Isn't it? Now who declares the seat of that deceased MP as VACANT? Is it not the Speaker of Parliament? Does the court intervene to declare that seat vacant? So, I completely disagree with Azar.

There is no law to follow than the precedent set by the former speaker of Parliament Mike Aoron Quaye.In fact this was a precedent set by the NPP themselves. Besides, if the above write up is something to go by, then, the Formena MP who doubles as the second deputy speaker should not have been part of the NPP to form majority. I think that, the current speaker of Parliament, Bagbin is too lenient to the NPP.

This guy is wrong, completely wrong, you have to be a member of a political party to contest or file to contest on the ticket of that party, you cannot remain outside that party to file to contest election on the ticket of another party.
The people filing to contest as independents or on the tickets of other parties are no more members of their various political parties, they cannot remain members of the parties whilst on the tickets of other parties they have joined or whilst they’re now independents.
You’re wrong, Kwaku Azar, this one you got it wrong, they should be expelled from parliament.

Dumsor which was not created by Mahama but a generational and inherited problem caused by lack of foresight by earlier Presidents was solved completely by Mahama creating excess capacity for power.
So tell me one biggest problem Akuffo Addo and Bawumialiar solved instead created a huge problem of running Ghana down in debt through excessive borrowing ,incompetence, ethnocentrism ,hair cut on investments of citizens and using 25million cedis in attempt to solve a problem that required just 9 million cedis.
Mahama ruled for just four years and achived the following which Akuffo Addo Bawumialiar could not achieve half of it:
Established University at Koforidua
UG Medical Center
Renovated Ridge Hospital to a Tertiary hospital
Kejetia Market (first in Africa)
Several Hospitals,CHIP Compounds and Clinics
accross the country.
E-Blocks making SHS accessible
Dollar to Cedi stabilised
Excellent Debt to GDP
Single digit inflation contiously for 3 years
Excellent macro economics indicators in the areas of Agric,industry,manufacturing,oil and gas etc.
Added an oil field producing millions of barrels of oil.
Affordable cost of living.
Let us match these items to Akuffo Addo and Bawumialiar's record.

JOHN D MAHAMA IS THE SAME JDM REPACKAGED BY NDC WITH THE SAME MINDSET TO DECEIVE GHANAIANS. HE IS AN OBSOLETE CARGO!
VOTING JDM INTO OFFICE AGAIN MEANS THERE IS NOBODY IN GHANA NOW WHO CAN EVEN BE EQUAL TO HIM AND AFTER HIS 4 YEAR TERM IN OFFICE, THERE WOULD NO ONE WITH THE BRAIN IN GHANA TO BE PRESIDENT.
GHANA WILL NOT BECOME LIKE SINGAPORE/SOUTH KOREA IF HE IS GIVEN POWER FOR ANOTHER 4YRS.
IT WILL BE VERY SHAMEFUL TO GHANA WITH ALL THE TALENTS THAT WE HAVE.
WE WOULD BE MOCKED BY OUR PEERS IN AFRICA.

Noble gas, seams u cannot read and fully understand. The npp and the SC are well aware that the MPs have vacated their seats per article 97. Its the reason why they did not rule on that matter but just injunct the speaker so that they will be able to keep on postponing the case until after the coming elections
This is what we call constitutional coup detat by the SC and the npp. IT IS WRONG and must not be allowed to stand.
