When Mike Ocquaye took that decision, why wasn't he challenged like Afenyo Markin did? That shows how daft NDC as a political is.

When Mike Ocquaye took that decision, why wasn't he challenged like Afenyo Markin did? That shows how daft NDC as a political is.

By the way, Mike Ocquaye's case and this are not the same because in the Mike Ocquaye'case, the MP involved crossed carpet while in parliament hence his seat being declared vacant. Unlike this case, the MPs had declared their intentions not to be part of NPP during the next parliament so, let's weigh both cases and see if they are the same.

The other crossed carpet while in parliament, the current MPs made their intention not to join NPP during the next parliamentary session. So, that is that.

Based on your explanation that technically makes the Fomena MP one whose seat should be declared vacant. He came into Parliament as an independent candidate and as one who was expelled by the NPP prior to his election making him a non-NPP member. This time he stood on the ticket of NPP and as such has been made a party member while serving his term as an independent candidate...I believe In the spirit of the law per your explanation he will be the only MP whose seat should be declared vacant...anaa mi boa??
There are only 2 sides, and FOMENA chose NPP on day one so NO aile crossed 1 year ago

Imagine, Haruna being expelled from parliament because he will die one day or he's showing signs of death. Is he dead now!!!

Does it mean that during Mike Quaye's time, so called supreme Court wasn't in a existence? Why now? Or the constitution was just written yeste-night. Posterity is a good judge. God knows NDC is the majority

Kwasia , If the NDC decided to forfeit their right of seeking redress , how did u expect the Supreme Court to intervene . The purpose of the clause is quite simple. If not dishonesty and political machinations , why wld there even be a debate about this. A declaration to contest on a different ticket in the future shd never be passed as cross carpeting .

You said nothing idiot. If that is the law and Bagbin applied it then where is the error. If there is a precedent at the parliament before then that makes Bagbins move more constitutional. So what exactly is this moron saying. Research coming out is saying that among the top 8 countries in the world with little intelligence, Ghanaians are at the number 8 and this twat has proven so.

The application of the clause by both Ocquaye and Bagbin is clearly idiotic and smacks of political machination rather than common sense .
The purpose of the law is to prevent MPs from switching sides during a parliamentary term in order to ensure parliamentary stability as well as maintain the mandate bestowed onto the MP by the electorates . So if the electorates voted for u because u are NPP , if you go to Parliament u just can’t decide to switch and betray that mandate .
How cld they interpret the law to mean an MP who decide to switch allegiance in a future elections shd forfeit his current mandate. How ? Isn’t it stupid ?

In Bagbin's own words, we do not have a majority party in this parliament. What we have is a majority caucus made up of NPP and one independent candidate. His statement made at a public Lecture in Legon recently casts him as a dishonest person by now describing Fomena no longer as an independent but as having joined NPP. In fact Bagbin has acted irresponsibly and could have thrown this country into chaos.
