Rep. Bhofal Chambers, Speaker of the 54th Legislature
The 17 members of the House of Representatives who contested the December 8 Senatorial election, only three were elected, creating pending by-elections that are expected to be held in 120 days.
Representives elected as Senators are Deputy Speaker Prince Moye (Bong County, Collaborating Political Parties); Rep. Zoe E. Pennue (Grand Gedeh County, Coalition for Democratic Change); Rep. Edwin M. Snowe (Bomi County, Independent).
The election of the three Representatives, created openings most especially the Deputy Speaker post; and the openings coincided with the appointment of chairmen and co-chairmen of statutory and standing committees, which Rule 54.1 mandates the Speaker to do after three years which initiated the power struggle.
