A lecturer of the Central University in Accra, Dr. Benjamin Okyere Ankrah has cautioned the newly elected Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Bagbin not to disappoint Ghanaians.
Hon. Alban Bagbin was on Thursday, January 7 elected Speaker of the 8th Parliament following the dissolution of the 7th Parliament.
However, there are fears he may favour his political party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which is on the opposition bench as this is the first time in Ghana s history under the Fourth Republic that a member of an opposition party has become the Speaker of Parliament.
There are arguments the opposition NDC may influence him to sabotage the sitting President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP Members of Parliament.
