Former President John Dramani Mahama has congratulated veteran law maker, AlbanSumana Kingsford Bagbin, on his election as the Speaker of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
He said the election of the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Nadowli Kaleo was a reflection of the robust democracy the country could have and how compromise could further solidify self- rule.
“The election of Speaker Bagbin affirms what a great democracy we can build for ourselves and how dialogue and consensus building can make us even stronger as a nation”, he said in a tweet yesterday.
Mr Bagbin of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who is one of the longest serving MPs was elected at dawn yesterday after a closely contested and chaotic election in parliament.
