Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has pledged to steer the Ghanaian Parliament with impartiality, emphasizing his commitment to putting national interest above partisan politics.

His comments were made in reference to the recent protests in Kenya, which highlighted the dangers of political unrest and the need for unity and transparency in governance.

In a recent address to the press in Kumasi, Speaker Bagbin highlighted the critical role of Parliament in safeguarding Ghana's democracy, particularly as the country prepares for the pivotal December 7 elections.

He stressed that his leadership will focus on fostering unity and collaboration among Members of Parliament (MPs) to ensure that legislative processes serve the best interests of all Ghanaians.

“People sometimes take so many things for granted including my colleagues in Parliament, but we all can bear witness that what happened in Kenya is now in Tanzania, and it could be in Ghana and I am not saying it will be in Ghana.

“We are not different from our brothers and sisters in Kenya and so we have to take preemptive measures to prevent that from happening and so we must do all we can to make sure that the right person that Ghanaians want to lead the country, leads the country and so in this matter, I will do all I can so that nobody reads partisanship in whatever I do," he said.

Bagbin referenced the recent upheaval in Kenya, where massive protests forced the government to withdraw a controversial financial bill.

He drew parallels between the situation in Kenya and potential risks in Ghana, urging leaders to take heed and prioritize the country's stability.
