After weeks of being vacant, two seats on the Opposition side of the National Assembly were yesterday filled after Aubrey Norton and Volda Lawrence were sworn in as the newest APNU+AFC Members of Parliament (MPs).

They both took the oath of office shortly after the 46th sitting of the twelfth Parliament commenced at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Liliendaal yesterday afternoon.

The oath was administered by Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs in the presence of a full House. Among the special invitees were former Prime Minister Hamilton Green and Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine.
