The President HE Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has congratulated the new Speaker-elect of the 8th Parliament, Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin on his elevation.
According to him he is happy and is ready to work with him on chattering a new path.
Speaking at his swearing-in as President of the country, he explained that this is the first time a Speaker of Parliament has been elected from another party.
“I must, at the outset, express my warm congratulations to my good friend and colleague of many years in this House, the Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, on his assumption of office as the Speaker of the Eighth Parliament of the 4th Republic”.
Eulogizing the new Speaker of Parliament, he noted that nearly three decades of devoted service to Parliament by him has culminated in this moment, which has seen his elevation to the third great office of the state of our nation.
"Together, you and I will be chartering new territory in the governance and politics of the 4th Republic, for this is the first time in the life of this Republic that a President from one party will be obliged, by the exigencies of the moment and the will of the people, to work, in all sincerity and co-operation, with a Speaker of Parliament from another party," he added.
“I am confident that both of us will be guided in our relationship by the supreme interest of our people in ensuring good governance in the ordering of the affairs of state”.
He has also assured him of his wholehearted determination to work with him to advance the peace, progress, and prosperity of the Ghanaian people.
"Once again, many congratulations to you and the re-elected and new Members of Parliament," he said.
