Reflecting on his long-standing commitment to governance, he added:
“Throughout my years of service to Parliament and the people of Ghana, I have always remained loyal to Ghana and committed to the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for the rule of law.”
Bagbin assured Ghanaians that as Speaker, he would uphold these principles, striving for a transparent, inclusive, and integrity-driven Parliament.
“I will, more than before, rededicate myself fully to the task ahead, working to strengthen our democratic institutions and ensuring that Parliament remains an effective and responsive institution to the needs and hopes of the people,” he promised.
Bagbin also thanked the Parliamentary Leadership and National Executives of the NDC for allowing him to run for a second term.
He committed to working hard to further Ghana’s democracy and legislative advancement, promising to live up to the faith that had been placed in him.
