Having been absent from the National Assembly for more than six consecutive sittings of the First Session of the Twelfth Parliament, the APNU+AFC opposition is seeking to have Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo’s seat declared vacant.
In an action filed, opposition MPs Christopher Jones and Tabitha Sarabo-Halley are asking a Court to declare Jagdeo’s seat vacated, because of his absence from the House.
In a joint press statement they issued after filing their application yesterday, Jones and Sarabo-Halley said that “good governance relies heavily on the active participation of all elected officials.”
