Reflecting on his unwavering commitment to democracy and 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 he would uphold these values as Speaker, working to ensure Parliament operates with transparency, integrity, and inclusiveness.

“I would like to take this opportunity to assure the President-Elect, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, and the people of Ghana that I will, more than before, rededicate myself fully to the task ahead of the country, working to strengthen our democratic institutions and to ensure that Parliament remains an effective and responsive institution to the needs and hopes of the people,” he affirmed.

Bagbin also expressed his appreciation to the NDC’s National Executives and Parliamentary Leadership for giving him the opportunity to serve a second term, promising to deliver on the trust placed in him.
