The Parliamentary Service has refuted reports that Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. A.S.K Bagbin has predicted Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to be the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) for the 2024 Presidential election.
An online portal reported that the Speaker has predicted that the 2024 presidential election will be between the former President, John Mahama and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to the website, the Speaker said this when he called on the Yagbonwura as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of uninterrupted Parliamentary democracy in Ghana.
But a statement issued by the Media Relations Department of the Parliamentary Service, placed on record that although the Speaker made reference to the two politicians at the said event it was not at exercise in prediction.
“He suggested that what should be of interim to the people Northern Ghana in which context he was speaking, is that they will be well represented at the apex of Ghana’s political structure, and that should be a source of pride to them.”
“The Rt. Hon. Speaker explained that despite political differences, we are one people with a common destiny. Our common goal therefore should be to work towards the good of all Ghanaians, irrespective clout political differences” the statement added.
