Robert Le Hunte is now senator

He took the oath of Senator before Senate President Christine Kangaloo at the start of yesterday’s sitting of the Senate.

Le Hunte filled the vacancy left by former senator Walede Michael Coppin whose position was revoked on August 24 to accommodate his ministerial appointment.

Le Hunte’s initial appointment as Minister of Public Utilities was revoked days after he was sworn in, in August due to having dual citizenship, a position he has since rectified.
