Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has acknowledged that the significant number of National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs in the House presents a challenge to parliamentary proceedings.

Bagbin, however, assured that he will work diligently to ensure that parliamentary activities remain free from partisan politics.

Speaking to journalists after his swearing-in on January 7, Bagbin emphasized his commitment to upholding the principles of democracy.

“I never take anything for granted because the large numbers we have coming from the NDC is also a challenge, and I should be able to get them to focus more on national interests.

“The collective interests of all Ghanaians, whether you are NDC, NPP, PNC, or independent, that is what matters to me, and that will be a challenge.”
