The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin has officially declared four parliamentary seats vacant.
The decision follows an official petition to the Speaker by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu.
It comes after extensive discussions and arguments presented by both the Majority and Minority sides of the House concerning the petition filed by former NDC Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu. It would be recalled that majority leader Afenyo-Markin has earlier filed a suit to the Ghanaian Supreme Court seeking an interpretation to the constitutional provision that regulates the declaration of vacant seats in parliament.
