The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, for his effective leadership during Tuesday, October 22 proceedings.
The NDC has said the approach adopted by the Speaker is a model of parliamentary leadership.
Speaker Bagbin indefinitely suspended parliamentary sitting on Tuesday after acknowledging the Supreme Court’s stay of order on the declaration of four vacant seats.
A statement signed by the NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey described how Mr Bagbin handled the session as a masterclass.
“The mature leadership he displayed during Tuesday’s parliamentary proceedings was exceptional. We applaud him for working in the interest of Parliament and the people of Ghana and enhancing the integrity of Parliament with his leadership,” the statement read in parts.
The NDC further expressed confidence that the integrity and independence of parliamentary processes would be upheld and the House will continue to prioritise the interests of the people of Ghana above partisan interests.
Additionally, the party commended its parliamentarians for showing unwavering resoluteness.
“Their steadfastness inspires confidence and hope in our determination to resist oppressor’s rule and to give expression to the faith that power ultimately belongs to the people, and no arm of government or institution can subvert the will of the people,” it added.
