Bagbin meets Asantehene

Alban Bagbin has officially introduced himself as the Speaker of the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic, to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Credible sources at the Manhyia Palace said Speaker Bagbin was at the palace to seek Otumfuo’s blessings and support to help him succeed.

According to them, the King and the Speaker discussed critical national issues, especially, regarding the operations of Parliament and government in general.

Both dignitaries, reportedly, also talked about measures needed to be taken to help accelerate national transformation and better the lives of the people.

Otumfuo also admonished the Speaker of Parliament to carry out his important duties with diligence and eschew partiality so that the country could experience massive growth.

Speaker Bagbin, against all odds, defeated the incumbent Speaker, Prof. Mike Oquaye.

It was the first time in the political history of the country that a member from the opposition was being elected to lead the legislature after a closely fought parliamentary election.

Mr. Bagbin has so far kick-started his duties as the Speaker of Parliament on a positive note, with many believing that he would live up to high expectations.
