The Speaker of
Parliament, Kingsford Alban Sumana Bagbin, has forecasted that the 2024
elections in Ghana will feature a showdown between former President John
Dramani Mahama and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The Speaker said
it will be the first time in the history of the Fourth Republic that both major
parties in Ghana will have candidates hailing from the northern region of the
country.
Bagbin made this
projection during a courtesy call on the Overlord of Gonja, Yagbonwura
Bii-Kunutu Jewu Soale, at his residence in Damongo.
Addressing the
Overlord and his subjects, the Speaker emphasized that it is now the time for
development in the northern region and urged the people to prepare themselves
accordingly.
“This is the
time that the two main parties in Ghana are both deciding that the flagbearers
will be our sons from the North. What I plead with all of you is for us to
accept our differences and see how we can come together to prepare to receive
the development that is coming our way.”
“So the legacy
projects we will do so be prepared to receive them when we bring them, multiply
them and make sure that generations unborn will benefit from that,” he stated.
Bagbin also
reiterated his opposition to the practice of LGBTQI+ in Ghana, reaffirming the
unanimous stance of Ghana’s Parliament against it.
As the presiding
officer of the Ghanaian Parliament, Bagbin firmly declared that LGBTQI+
activities will never be sanctioned in the country.
“Once I preside
over the parliament of Ghana, this LGBTQI will never be sanctioned in Ghana,”
he added.
