The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended “Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, for the able manner he continues to conduct the affairs of Parliament as evidenced today”.

“The Rt. Hon. Speaker Alban Bagbin's handling of the business of Parliament today was a masterclass. The mature leadership he displayed during today's parliamentary proceedings was exceptional,” the October 22, 2024, statement by the NDC continued.

“We applaud him for working in the interest of Parliament and the people of Ghana and enhancing the integrity of Parliament with his leadership. We are confident that ultimately, the integrity and independence of Parliamentary processes will be upheld and that the House will continue to prioritize the interests of the people of Ghana above partisan interests,” the statement signed by General Secretary Fifi Kwetey said.

The opposition party also emphasised they were the new majority in parliament.

“We also commend the NDC Majority Caucus for showing unwavering resoluteness,” the statement said.

It added: “Their steadfastness inspires confidence and hope in our determination to resist oppressor's rule and to give expression to the truth that power ultimately belongs to the people, and no arm of government or institution can subvert the will of the people.

“The NDC remains resolute in its dedication to fostering democracy and ensuring a brighter, more prosperous future for all citizens.”
