So Code, the SC mean that an NPP MP can leave his party & still represent the same NPP in Parliament. Why these double standards? Politics of Convenience indeed
A simple question that can resolve the present controversy in Parliament in respect of the four vacation of parliamentary seats. Question: *When should a Member of Parliament vacate his seat. Is it during his present term in office or during his probable future term in office, should he win the future election?* Article 97 clause 1, paragraphs g and h of the constitution of Ghana. 1) A member of Parliament shall vacate his seat in parliament - (g) 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; or (h) if he was elected a member of Parliament as an independent candidate and joins a political party. If it is argued that the member of parliament must not vacate his present seat but rather vacate a future seat if he probably wins a future election, then it would imply that, immediately he is declared a member of parliament in future, he must immediately vacate his seat, so that another election is organized for him to probably win again. This view would amount to causing other parliamentary candidates (including the political party candidates to contest the same elections twice) and to what end? If this view is upheld, it would also imply that a member of parliament who becomes the Speaker of Parliament, must not vacate his present seat in parliament but rather vacate a probable future seat in parliament. It would also imply that upon dissolution of parliament, members should vacate their probable future parliamentary seats. *Second follow-up question* In the context of this discussion, at which point, can it be conclusive that a member of parliament has either left his political party or joined a political party (if he was initially independent) ? *Answer to question two* The time of leaving the political party or joining one (if he was independent) occurs before the end of the present term of parliament. The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission is therefore reasonably conclusive as the time that he has left his political party or joined a political party (if he was independent). *Final question* Should a political party be the only one to report that a person is no longer a member of the party? *Answer* In this context, any citizen can point out or report a wrongdoing *Summary* Article 97 is clear that the parliamentary seat to be vacated is the present seat and not a future probabilistic seat. The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission contrary to his "present status in parliament" is therefore the reasonable conclusive evidence that a member of parliament has either left his party, or joined a party (if he was independent); *and must therefore vacate his seat with immediate effect*__
When Mike Ocquaye made the same ruling in his tenure, the NPP saw nothing wrong with it but see everything wrong with Bagbin's declaration. Shameless people.
It wasn't the same. In his case, NPP wrote to him that the Fomena MP is no longer a member of the Party, and because of that, his seat will be declared vacant. This one is for the future parliament, which starts in 2025. Which has no Speaker yet
Bro check your facts well ok. By then Npp caucus wrote to mike oquale and mike wrote to Fomena mp for his side of his story confirmed before declaring it vacant… what ndc and Bagbin doing is purely partisan…. They have business to do speaker must recall parliament. What’s annoying is 2025 budget must be presented to parliament in this November. We should face reality, stop politicizing everything in Ghana and stop some of these cheap comments
He didn’t declare them vacant, he announced they were vacant the constitution declared it vacant. CJ n her SC judges are jokes making a mockery of Ghanaians and themselves. That part of the constitution is not referring to a future parliament 😂. The same thing happened in 2022, the speaker then did the same thing so what changed 😂
Micky it seems what you read to us you don't understand yourself, according to the Constitution it says the MP must vacate his or her seat and this article of the Constitution have been implemented before by then Speaker Oquaye and no one dispute it, so why now?
What you read said, "A member shall vacate their seat" not speaker shall vacate a member of their seat. Secondly article 90 indicates such declaration should be done at the hight court. If even speaker was right, the procedure he used was wrong.
Ermm. What're you trying to say? I don't understand this.. Members vacated their seats before the declaration from the speaker. Or was it vice versa? Code even made the interpretation easier but... 🤦♂
😂 in your understanding, the MP can decide whether to vacate or not to vacate? well, the speaker didn't ask anyone to vacate he only communicated to them what had happened.
NPP should forget because even if the speaker recall parliament the NDC will also boycott and parliament cannot do business. In a way the NDC is not affected because they're not in power😂😂😂 See you 7th December 😂😂😂
Coded legal affairs... solid analysis.

A simple question that can resolve the present controversy in Parliament in respect of the four vacation of parliamentary seats.
Question:
*When should a Member of Parliament vacate his seat. Is it during his present term in office or during his probable future term in office, should he win the future election?*
Article 97 clause 1, paragraphs g and h of the constitution of Ghana.
1) A member of Parliament shall vacate his seat in parliament -
(g) 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; or
(h) if he was elected a member of Parliament as an independent candidate and joins a political party.
If it is argued that the member of parliament must not vacate his present seat but rather vacate a future seat if he probably wins a future election, then it would imply that, immediately he is declared a member of parliament in future, he must immediately vacate his seat, so that another election is organized for him to probably win again.
This view would amount to causing other parliamentary candidates (including the political party candidates to contest the same elections twice) and to what end?
If this view is upheld, it would also imply that a member of parliament who becomes the Speaker of Parliament, must not vacate his present seat in parliament but rather vacate a probable future seat in parliament.
It would also imply that upon dissolution of parliament, members should vacate their probable future parliamentary seats.
*Second follow-up question*
In the context of this discussion, at which point, can it be conclusive that a member of parliament has either left his political party or joined a political party (if he was initially independent) ?
*Answer to question two*
The time of leaving the political party or joining one (if he was independent) occurs before the end of the present term of parliament.
The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission is therefore reasonably conclusive as the time that he has left his political party or joined a political party (if he was independent).
*Final question*
Should a political party be the only one to report that a person is no longer a member of the party?
*Answer*
In this context, any citizen can point out or report a wrongdoing
*Summary*
Article 97 is clear that the parliamentary seat to be vacated is the present seat and not a future probabilistic seat.
The time of filing for candidacy with the Electoral Commission contrary to his "present status in parliament" is therefore the reasonable conclusive evidence that a member of parliament has either left his party, or joined a party (if he was independent); *and must therefore vacate his seat with immediate effect*__

@ so you mean will those mp’s today be the mp’s next year
@JohnKumaleb Nope, some will not even get elected on December 7th. That's why it's premature to declare their seats vacant now.

Because it has been disputed now.
At that time nobody took it court since that implementaion didn't affect any of the political parties. He said it but you don't listen well
What you read said, "A member shall vacate their seat" not speaker shall vacate a member of their seat. Secondly article 90 indicates such declaration should be done at the hight court. If even speaker was right, the procedure he used was wrong.
Can you pls read what you wrote understand and comment again

And your father is a fool . Buy the constitution book and learn to understand and don’t just read like graphic
Very stupid of u calling someone stupid
You could have said Bagbin was wrong. If he was your father which he could, will you call him that because you disagree with him.
Odwan ba can you call your father that
