Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Djietro has disclosed that no representative for the Ablekuma North constituency will be sworn in or partake in proceedings as the House has not yet received any writ of election from the EC for the said constituency.
Presiding over sitting on the midnight of the inauguration of the newly elected MP for the ninth Parliament, Mr Djietro noted that there are outstanding issues with two constituencies; Akwatia and Ablekuma North.
He announced to the House that no representative of the Akwatia constituency will be permitted to partake in the proceedings of the first sitting of the ninth Parliament and election of the Speaker because the Electoral Commission (EC) has served no writ of election for the Ablekuma North constituency.
“Two issues relating to two constituencies are outstanding and the constituencies are Ablekuma North and Akwatia.
“The case of Ablekuma North is known to all of us and we don’t have writ of elections from the EC in respect of Ablekuma North and therefore it is impossible to proceed with any matter relating to Ablekuma North in terms of roll call and in terms of the eligibility of a member for that constituency to participate in the election of the Speaker,” he stated.
