A political science at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransfrod Gyampo has stated that the idea of declaring seats vacant at a time when fresh elections cannot be immediately held to replace occupants, simply because of a future intent of a sitting Member of Parliament, unnecessarily stifles representation.He says it denies constituents their voice in parliament.Further, questions relating to vacation of seats by MPs can only be determined by the high courts and not by the speaker of parliament or political parties.
