    "content": "Hon. Members, as I had guided the House earlier in today’s sitting, Article 145(2) of the Constitution sets a threshold of at least two-thirds of Members of the National Assembly to vote in support of a Special Motion for proposed removal, by impeachment, of the Deputy President of the Republic for such Motion to be carried. According to the results of the Division on the Special Motion, which I have just declared, a total of 281 Members, being more than two-thirds of Members of the National Assembly, have voted in support of the Motion. Article 145(2)(a) of the Constitution provides that: If a Motion under Clause (1) is supported by at least two-thirds of all Members of the National Assembly, the Speaker shall inform the Speaker of the Senate of the resolution within two days. In this regard, I will proceed to discharge the singular duty placed on me by Article 145(2)(a) of the Constitution, being to notify the Speaker of the Senate of the resolution of the National Assembly. The Clerk is directed to prepare the necessary documentations to accompany the resolution. The House will resume tomorrow, Wednesday, 9th October 2024 at 9.30 a.m., to resume its regular business as scheduled by the House Business Committee. I thank you. Hon. Members, will you now be upstanding. Draw the Bar and open the doors."
