The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is set to address the media on recent developments in the legislative house today Wednesday, November 6, just one day ahead of Parliament’s recall on Thursday, November 7.
The upcoming address, according to a press statement released by Parliament's Public Affairs Directorate on Tuesday, November 5, is expected to cover key issues facing the institution and the nation.
This announcement comes in the wake of a Supreme Court decision rejecting Speaker Bagbin’s application to stay the enforcement of the Court’s ruling on four vacant parliamentary seats.
Speaker Bagbin declared the seats vacant earlier this year, a decision that has since faced legal contention, culminating in the recent Supreme Court ruling.
Speaker Bagbin’s address is anticipated to delve into the implications of the Court’s decision, particularly as it impacts parliamentary representation and legislative procedures.
With the recall of Parliament scheduled for Thursday, the timing of his media briefing suggests an effort to clarify these pressing issues and set a tone of what is to be expected.
Observers expect that the Speaker may also use this opportunity to address other matters of national importance as Parliament reconvenes, underscoring the institution’s commitment to maintaining a balance between its constitutional responsibilities and judicial oversight.
The address is likely to draw significant public and political interest, given the heightened tension over the vacant seats and other recent parliamentary challenges.
