The National Assembly was forced to suspend its Thursday session due to a lack of quorum, a significant disruption in the legislative schedule. 

The National Assembly today (Wednesday) failed to carry out its daily business after there was no quorum in the house.

This was largely due to the absence of opposition party MPs, who continued to abscond from the proceedings for the second day in a row.

The National Assembly could not continue with its session on Thursday, due to a lack of a quorum.

Upon entry into the chamber, Deputy Speaker of the House, Loide Kasingo did not take the usual affirmation, but instead inquired about the next move from the Front Desk Officials.
