Just a day before Parliament’s recall on Thursday, November 7, Speaker of the Parliament Alban Bagbin will speak to the media about recent events in the legislative house tomorrow, Wednesday, November 6.

Parliament’s Public Affairs Directorate said in a press release on Tuesday, November 5, that the upcoming speech is anticipated to address important challenges affecting the country and the institution.

Following a Supreme Court order that denied Speaker Bagbin’s request to halt the implementation of the Court’s decision regarding four open parliamentary seats, this announcement was made.

Earlier this year, Speaker Bagbin announced that the seats were vacant. This decision has since been the subject of legal challenges, leading to the latest Supreme Court verdict.

It is expected that Speaker Bagbin’s speech would explore the ramifications of the Court’s ruling, namely how it affects legislative processes and parliamentary representation.

The timing of his media conference indicates an attempt to address these urgent concerns and set the tone for the recall of Parliament, which is due for Thursday.

As Parliament reconvenes, observers anticipate that the Speaker will also take use of this chance to speak on other issues of national significance, demonstrating the institution’s dedication to upholding a balance between its constitutional duties and judicial supervision.

Given the increased tension over the open seats and other recent parliamentary problems, the speech is probably going to generate a lot of political and public interest.
