MP Naseer Ahamed’s Expulsion Upheld by Supreme Court

Date:

The Elections Commission has been officially notified by the Secretary General of Parliament that MP Naseer Ahamed’s parliamentary seat has become vacant. This significant development follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the legality of his expulsion from the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC).

In April 2022, the SLMC took the decision to expel Naseer Ahamed from the party due to his change in political affiliation, which led to his swearing in as the Environment Minister in the government led by Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

The recent verdict from the Supreme Court reaffirmed the validity and lawfulness of the SLMC’s decision to expel Minister Naseer Ahamed from the party, resulting in the vacancy of his parliamentary seat.
