Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has charged new Members of Parliament (MPs) to remain focused and work diligently to address the nation's challenges.

He emphasized the importance of defending party positions with reasoning rather than emotion.

Bagbin acknowledged that the task ahead would not be easy but expressed confidence in the new MPs, stating that the success of their parties rested on their shoulders.

The Speaker made these remarks at the opening of a four-day induction and orientation program for new MPs of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic at Parliament House, Accra, on Saturday.
