The Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin will address the media on recent developments within Parliament on November 6.
A press release issued by the Public Affairs sub-division of Parliament said broader issues concerning democratic development in Ghana will also be addressed by the Speaker.
“This engagement aims to provide an opportunity for the media to discuss critical issues affecting Ghana’s parliamentary democracy, including recent events that have led to significant political developments,” the release dated November 5 stated.
It added that, “The address will take place on Wednesday, 6th November 2024 at 2:00 pm, at the Justice D.F. Annan Auditorium, Job 600, Parliament House.”
Parliament is currently not sitting because Mr Bagbin on October 17 adjourned the House indefinitely. This followed his declaration of four seats vacant, a ruling which he has since been ordered by the Supreme Court not to implement.
Although Speaker Bagbin got his lawyers to apply to the apex court to rescind its decision, the application was dismissed.
The Speaker’s meet the press comes at a time when all well-meaning stakeholders have called for collaboration between the Judiciary and the Legislature to resolve what many have described as a constitutional stalemate.
Meanwhile, Parliament is expected to reconvene on November 7, 2024
