The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has come under fire from the spokesperson for the Bawumia Campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye who described him as "the worst speaker of parliament we've ever had," on Newsfile on Joy Prime.
This strong statement adds fuel to an ongoing debate over Bagbin's approach to parliamentary leadership, with accusations that his tenure has brought increased division and friction in the chamber.
In a pointed criticism, the spokesperson highlighted that there is a traditional seating arrangement in Parliament that he claims is not being respected under Bagbin's leadership. "In Parliament, in the rules, there's a seating position in this particular parliament for the NPP," he argued, suggesting that a breach of this arrangement signals a lack of respect for parliamentary rules.
This seemingly minor issue has become symbolic for some NPP members who feel the Speaker's actions are creating an atmosphere of imbalance.
