Anti-party hopping law an important step towards making elections clean and respectable, says G25


THE G25 wishes to congratulate the Prime Minister and the Members of Parliament for unanimously voting (by 209 votes) to pass the anti-hopping Bill a few days ago, namely, the Constitution (Amendment) Bill (No. 3) 2022, that prohibits Members of Parliament from party hopping.

With this new law, an MP who exits a political party and then joins another, would cease to be a member of the House. It’s a step forward, as stated by the three MPs from different political parties in their TV panel discussion recently, to restore public confidence in the voting process in a general election.
