Following the ruling of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 overturning Speaker Alban Bagbin’s declaration of vacant seats, Mr. Alexander Afenyo-Markin has appealed to the Speaker to exercise his authority to reconvene Parliament.
“…..I respectfully look forward to your exercise of your authority to reconvene Parliament, so that together, we may resume our sacred duty to the people of Ghana without further delay or discord”.
Speaker Bagbin on November 7, 2024 adjourned the House indefinitely after Members of Parliament from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) whose behest the House was recalled failed to attend the session.
But after the ruling that brings some finality to the impasse and retain the NPP as the Majority in Parliament, Mr Afenyo-Markin has served notice of their readiness to transact their parliamentary duties, thus looking forward t the Speaker to do the needful.
“The time has come for us to move beyond this episode and redirect our energies toward our primary duty — serving the good people of Ghana ‘who elected us to represent their interests. Our nation faces pressing challenges that demand our united attention and collaborative effort.
“As we return to our legislative duties as soon as possible, let us remember that we are first and foremost servants of the people. The voters who sent us to Parliament expect us to prioritize their interests above all else. They deserve nothing less than our total commitment to advancing the development agenda that will improve their lives”.
He urged his colleagues to approach their duties with fresh vigor, determined to work together in the spirit of constructive dialogue and mutual respect.
