ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT, THE RT. HON. ALBAN SUMANA KINGSFORD BAGBIN, AS PRESIDENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENTARY ASSOCIATION.
The leadership and entire membership of the National Democratic Congress have taken note of the recent election of the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, our own much beloved Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, as the new President of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.
We issue this statement to formally offer him our warmest congratulations on this singular achievement which brings honour and dignity not only to his person and sterling qualities, but also to the continent of Africa, our country Ghana, and the National Democratic Congress of which he is a committed and dedicated member.[ads4]
As we all bask in the pride of his election, we also request for God’s strength and grace to enable him discharge his additional functions with the wisdom and dexterity that has characteristised his tenure since his historic election as the first ever Speaker of Parliament from outside the ranks of the governing party.
Comrade Speaker, the NDC wishes you well. The people of Ghana are proud of you. May you continue to enjoy God’s bountiful blessings.
LONG LIVE THE NDC!!
LONG LIVE GHANA!
