The former president of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) Sam Okudzeto says he would have asked the National Democratic Congress NDC caucus in Parliament to go to court if they wanted the four seats to be declared vacant.
Mr. Okudzeto explained that any citizen who qualifies to vote has the right to apply to the High Court to have seats declared vacant in accordance with the constitution.
“If I were in his (Speaker) position, I would, since I’m supposed to be a neutral person, a speaker, I would have asked those who were raising the issue, to go to the court, to go and get it. That’s what I would have done if I were in his position," Mr. Okudzeto stated.
In other news, Mr Sam Okudzeto asserted that Supreme Court’s ruling on the vacant parliamentary seats was not final but temporary.
The law lecturer condemned the attacks on the Supreme Court, specifically the five-member panel that made the decision. He believes the judges' ruling on the case was constitutional.
