Defiant: Axed PL lawmakers vow to return to House today

PARLIAMENT - Today’s highly anticipated parliamentary session promises fireworks as two expelled PL lawmakers have vowed to return to Parliament amid heightened tension. MPs Elie Ngirabakunzi and Isaie Murashi were on September 27 thrown out of the Chamber of Deputies by their party, Liberal Party (PL), but they immediately filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction. The High Court is set to rule on the case today. The two MPs and three other politicians were sacked from the party after two months of infighting over allegations of bribery and poll rigging.
