28-member majority coalition stands firm, reinforcing unity, stability, and commitment to governance and national progress
THE coalition of twenty-eight (28) Members of Parliament, representing the clear majority in the National Parliament, today reaffirmed its unity and resolve to uphold the democratic principles of the nation during this critical time.
The coalition earlier confirmed that legal proceedings have now been formally filed and the matter is before the courts.
A statement from the group says while they respect the judicial process and will allow the courts to determine the legal questions before them, they emphasize that this does not prevent immediate and responsible political action.
“The Prime Minister can still do the right thing and call Parliament to meet.”
“The continued delay in convening Parliament, without clear and justifiable reason, does not serve the national interest. Rather, it serves only the interests of a narrow few at the expense of the broader democratic will of the people.”
“We stand strong to save our democracy,” the coalition declared.
The coalition stressed that the will of the people is expressed through their elected Members of Parliament and must be guided by the enduring principle of majority rule.
“Narrow self-interest must not override the will of the people as expressed through their MPs. The principle of majority rule is fundamental to our democracy and must be respected at all times.”
The coalition remains united and committed to ensuring that Parliament, as the supreme forum of democratic decision-making, is allowed to function and resolve the current situation in accordance with the Constitution.
“We call on all leaders to act in good faith, put the country first, and uphold the democratic values that bind us together as a nation.”
