Opposition dual MPs tender resignations from Parliament

All three of the opposition’s dual citizen parliamentarians have submitted their letters of resignation to the National Assembly and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that the party is still searching for replacements.

After berating the government for its conflicting stance on the dual citizen issue, Jagdeo announced during his weekly press conference that Gail Teixeira and Adrian Anamayah have tendered their resignations to the National Assembly and that Odinga Lumumba would submit his soon. Stabroek News late yesterday afternoon saw a copy of Lumumba’s letter which was delivered earlier in the day and took immediate effect.

Jagdeo went on to stress the contributions Teixeira has made to parliament and informed that once she completes the process of renouncing her Canadian citizenship, her name will be back on the party’s list.
