Following the Supreme Court's judgement, the Attorney-General (AG), Godfred Yeboah, says the Electoral Commission (EC) can declare the Assin North Constituency seat vacant.
The Supreme Court declared on Wednesday that Assin North MP James Gyakye Quayson can no longer execute Parliamentary responsibilities in a majority 5-2 verdict.
This means that the people of Assin North will be without representation in Parliament for the time being.
Following the court hearings, the A-G told the press that a by-election should have been held long ago if it hadn't been for the "legal acrobatics" used by Mr Quayson's attorneys.
"The High Court has decided, made a verdict, and identified the gentleman's position as not entitled to have contested for election," he said, adding that the poll in the Assin North seat had been annulled. Following that, the Court of Case dismissed his appeal for failing to follow the Court of Appeal's guidelines."
As a result, he stated that "the path is clear" because no appeal is pending. Nothing should stand in the way of the Electoral Commission declaring the seat vacant, in my opinion."
The Supreme Court has ordered that the case be heard and decided as soon as possible.
