Members of Parliament are Representative of the People, first and foremost the People who elected him in his Constituency.
The Member of Parliament is elected to represent the constituents on the basis of the TICKET on which he stood to be elected [political party as an independent] and his CAMPAIGN MESSAGE [Manifesto or Social Contract] articulated during his Campaign…
Cross Carpeting amounts to DEFRAUDING the electorate, an act punishable by the forfeiture of the Seat which he fraudulently won on the said TICKET AND MESSAGE OR MANIFESTO.
Both the TICKET and MESSAGE amount to the platform upon which the Member of Parliament was elected and the punishment is immediate not futuristic especially as there is no guarantee that the said Member of Parliament will win the next election to be punished after his future victory.
THE ABSURDITY of the NPP’s futuristic punishment proposition thus fails.
FRAUD VICIATES ALL, including the rewards for the fraud in this case Seat is automatically vacated.
Is the Independent Member of Parliament and 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament currently a member of the NPP, with a membership card as indicative of his declaration to the Electoral Commission for which he was qualified to represent the NPP in the 2024 election as published in the 2024 NOTICE OF POLLS?
TUESDAY 22ND OCTOBER IS COMING SOON.
Ghanaian will not be intimidated; they will rise to the Defense of the Constitution of Ghana.
STAY TUNED.
