Following a Supreme Court ruling recently, six members of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) were sworn in as new members of the National Assembly.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in the National Assembly chamber on Monday.
The six are Hidipo Hamata, Yvette Areas, Maximalliant Katjimune, Raymond Diergaardt, Charmaine Tjirare and Mike Venaani, father to PDM’s leader, McHenry Venaani.
They replace Esmeralda Esme !Aebes, Johannes Martin, Kazeongere Tjeundo, Godfrey Kupuzo Mwilima, Timotheus Sydney Shihumbu and Pieter Mostert.
This is after the court found that they were unlawfully on the 2019 parliamentary list in the run-up to that year’s National Assembly election.
