The Member of Parliament for the Abuakwa South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Samuel Atta Akyea, has expressed his disapproval of the notion that MPs should be compelled to vacate their seats for expressing future political ambitions.
He said that MPs should not be treated as "robots" incapable of reconsidering their political futures or exploring new directions, myjoyonline.com has reported.
He made this statement during an interview on PM Express on Joy News on October 15, 2024.
Atta Akyea's remarks stem from discussions held in Parliament about some MPs who announced their decisions to contest as independent candidates in the pending 2024 parliamentary elections.
