Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has been officially sworn in as the Speaker of Ghana's 9th Parliament, marking the beginning of the legislative session under the Fourth Republic.
The swearing-in ceremony took place during the inaugural session of the new Parliament in the early hours of Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at Parliament House in Accra.
The event followed the dissolution of the 8th Parliament at midnight, signalling a transition to a new chapter in Ghana's democracy.
Bagbin, who made history in 2021 as the first Speaker to come from the opposition party, was re-nominated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the role.
