Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has publicly criticized Ghana’s two major political parties, highlighting what he describes as fundamental weaknesses despite their respective reputations.
In a statement delivered on the floor of Parliament, Bagbin described the country’s political system as “toxic” in some aspects, contributing to governance challenges.
He noted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) struggles with upholding democratic principles, while the New Patriotic Party (NPP) faces difficulties demonstrating genuine patriotism.
He urged both parties to reflect on these shortcomings and take steps to strengthen their core values.
As Ghana’s longest-serving Member of Parliament and a two-time Speaker, Bagbin emphasized his commitment to speaking truth to power to improve governance structures.
He also contrasted his leadership approach with that of Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, noting that Afenyo-Markin draws inspiration from him.
Bagbin pledged to continue efforts to enhance Parliament’s skills and capacity, aiming to cultivate a legislature capable of better serving the country.
