Political Defectors To Lose Seat, says Reps

The House of Representatives is considering to make a president or governor lose their seat if they defect from the political party on whose platform they were elected to another.

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party from Taraba State, RIMAMNDE KWEWUM, has now sponsored a bill to extend the condition to the president, vice-president, governor and deputy governor.

Presently, the constitution only prescribes such for National Assembly and state House of Assembly members.
