Speaker Bagbin to Address Media on Parliament’s Latest Developments Ahead of Recall
Anticipated Briefing to Cover Supreme Court Ruling on Vacant Seats, Legislative Procedures, and National Issues
- Speaker Bagbin will discuss the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on four vacant parliamentary seats
- The briefing will address the impact on legislative procedures and parliamentary representation
- The Speaker may also touch on other national issues as Parliament prepares to reconvene
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is scheduled to address the media today, Wednesday, November 6, to provide insights into recent developments within the legislative body.
This address comes just a day before Parliament’s recall on Thursday, November 7.
According to a statement from Parliament’s Public Affairs Directorate, Speaker Bagbin’s address will touch on several key issues impacting both the institution and the nation at large.
The timing of the address follows a significant Supreme Court ruling rejecting the Speaker’s application to stay the enforcement of its earlier decision on four vacant parliamentary seats.
This decision, made earlier in the year by Speaker Bagbin, has sparked legal challenges and is now the subject of the Court’s final verdict.
The Speaker’s upcoming statement is expected to explore the implications of this ruling, particularly as it relates to parliamentary representation and legislative operations.
It is also anticipated that Bagbin will discuss the broader context of Parliament’s role, especially as the House prepares to reconvene.
Given the contentious nature of the vacant seats and other ongoing challenges, the address is expected to draw widespread attention, with many anticipating that the Speaker may also address other pressing national issues as Parliament resumes its activities.
