Kwada had over the weekend in Michika defected to the opposition APC from the PDP citing injustice as the reason behind his action.
Kwada, known as the Depolis, was the third legislator to cross-carpet to another political party under the 7th House of Assembly in the state.
Members representing Mayo Belwa and Mubi South, Ibrahim Italiya and Umar Musa Bororo recently defected to the APC and the PDP respectively.
The Speaker of the House declared the seat of the member vacant following a motion to that effect by Hon. Pwamwakeno Mackondo, who brought the matter as a constitutional matter citing section 109 (1g) of the 1999 constitution.
