    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I seek that you clarify two issues. First is the prayer presented by the petitioner to declare your seat vacant. You tried to explain this in the beginning, but my take is different. We all know that Article 106(2) of the Constitution provides how you can vacate your office. In this case, the court appears to be following the petitioner, who is “chasing the wild goose”, to understand how you can be relieved of your position because of your party affiliation. In your ruling, I ask you to clarify how the court has come up with this decision and whether this is in order, On the second prayer, which is about Article 103 of the Constitution, as read together with section 14 of the Political Parties Act, the petitioner wanted to understand whether, by virtue of association, a Member can exit a political party or coalition. The Ruling does not appear to me to be satisfactorily responded to. Therefore, I seek that you clarify whether it is true that there is another way other than writing to the Registrar of Political Parties to confirm that a Member belongs to a particular coalition or party."
