Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has declined the Majority’s request to recall the House.
In a memo to the Majority on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, the Speaker stated that Parliament would reconvene after the elections to address critical issues, ensuring a smooth transition to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
“The House will resume sitting after the elections to complete all essential matters before a seamless transition to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana,” the Speaker said.
“The national interest would better be served if members exhibit conduct of honour, empathy, and humility in the performance of their duties. In the circumstances, I am neither inclined nor disposed to exercise my discretion in favour of your request. The request is accordingly declined,” he indicated.
“This season is for the government, parties, and both presidential and parliamentary candidates to present their manifestos to the people and to account and justify how the mandate given them by voters for the four-year term of office has been applied to the benefit of the people,” he added.
