Speaker Adjourns Sitting Indefinitely, Cites Insufficient Qurom to Make Decisions

Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin

In a powerful show of support for Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, leading members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have voiced serious concerns about the state of Ghana’s democracy, citing alleged executive overreach and judicial partisanship as major threats to governance. 

These statements signal deepening frustration with what they described as systemic biases that could erode Ghana’s democratic foundations.

Hon. Samuel Nartey George, the National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Constituency, in a public letter to Speaker Bagbin, applauded Speaker Bagbin’s leadership and efforts to protect democratic principles amid growing challenges.

“Dear Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament of Ghana, Hon Alban S.K. Bagbin, I am proud of you and your commitment to the protection of our democracy. I am glad of the sacrifices my Colleagues and I made to elect you as Speaker of the 8th Parliament. I have absolutely no regrets and would do it all over a thousand times”.

Hon. Samuel Nartey George, MP Ningo-Prampram Constituency

In his letter, Hon. Samuel George did not mince words, condemning what he described as the “tyranny of the Executive” and the “fascism” of Ghana’s current judicial system. 

He asserted that this combination represents the “biggest threat” to the nation’s democratic framework. Describing the judiciary’s recent conduct as “malicious, capricious, arbitrary, and whimsical,” the Ningo-Prampram Member of Parliament urged all Ghanaians who value democracy to resist any “dictates” that threaten their freedoms and democratic rights. 

For Hon. Samuel Nartet George, this fight is one to protect not only the integrity of Ghana’s parliamentary processes but also the country’s long-standing democratic ideals.

Judiciary: Bulwark for NPP Impunity

Adding weight to these concerns, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Abura Asebu Kwamankese Constituency, also endorsed Speaker Bagbin’s critiques of the judiciary, accusing the judiciary of acting as a protective “bulwark for NPP impunity.”

In a pointed statement, Kwakye Ofosu highlighted what he views as entrenched selectivity, imbalance, and partisanship of the judiciary, which, he argued, overly favours the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He emphasized that the judiciary should embody consistency and fairness for all, urging an end to the “over-indulgence” of any particular political agenda.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who doubles as a special aide to former President John Dramani Mahama emphasised the need for Ghana’s democratic processes to remain impartial and committed to equal justice.

These statements come at a time when Ghana’s political landscape is increasingly polarized, with many within the opposition expressing alarm at perceived executive and judicial biases that they argue hinder fair governance. 

The call from Hon. George and Kwakye Ofosu underscored a demand for accountability, with both leaders asserting that the integrity of Ghana’s democratic institutions must be protected from any form of influence that compromises their independence and impartiality.

The public endorsements of Speaker Bagbin’s stance reflect broader concerns within the opposition, who have long warned about the potential for authoritarianism when judicial and executive powers are perceived to favor one party at the expense of democratic checks and balances. 

The statements from Hon. George and Kwakye Ofosu serve as a rallying cry for increased transparency, consistency, and a return to the core principles that define Ghanaian democracy.
