Bagbin’s declaration of four seats vacant sets dangerous precedent – Kwaku Azar

Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, also known as Kwaku Azar, has criticized Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin's decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.

Azar argues that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent, potentially discouraging MPs from pursuing future political ambitions due to fear of punitive actions.

He believes the decision disrupts the balance of power established by voters and undermines MPs' freedom of association.

Azar warns that treating nominations for future elections as a change in allegiance may destabilize Parliament, limit political participation, and harm democratic processes in Ghana.
