The spokesperson for the Bawumia Campaign, Denis Miracles Aboagye, has described the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, as “the worst in the House’s history.”
According to Aboagye, the controversy in Parliament over the ruling on four vacant seats could have been resolved amicably, but he claims that Mr. Bagbin’s inefficiency prevented this outcome.
“In Parliament, in the rules, there’s a seating position in this particular Parliament for the NPP… This Speaker will go down in history as the worst Speaker of Parliament we’ve ever had,” he remarked.
Aboagye made these comments on Newsfile on Saturday, November 11, suggesting that restoring the seating arrangement could help bring order.
The Supreme Court has directed the Speaker to stay the execution of the ruling, following a case filed by the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

Earlier on the show, the Majority Leader accused the Speaker of overseeing the chaos and explained that his side chose not to attend the House during the recall due to intelligence indicating potential violence.
In light of this, Aboagye commended the NPP MPs for what he called their demonstration of emotional intelligence in handling the situation.
However, he urged the Speaker to act in accordance with the Supreme Court’s ruling and to recognize the NPP legislators as the Majority side to ensure smooth government operations.
“What this country needs, like President Kufuor said yesterday, is a Speaker who realizes that we have a very small matter that requires leadership to resolve,” he emphasized.
