The Attorney General (AG), Godfred Yeboah Dame is said to have written to the Speaker of Parliament asking that he declares the Assin North seat vacant in light of the recent Supreme Court judgment.
The court ordered Parliament to expunge James Gyakye Quayson’s name from its records after it found that he failed to renounce his Canadian citizenship at the time of filing his nomination forms to contest the polls.
This vacancy will require a by-election to take place.
Minority Leader Dr. Forson disclosed the letter from the AG during the vetting of the Chief Justice Nominee, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
“I received a letter from the office of the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice, the letter was addressed to the Right Honourable Speaker, Parliament of Ghana, Accra and I was in copied with the minority leader.”
