Leader of the NPP caucus in Ghana’s parliament and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo Markin alleges that the speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin is looking on as the members of the National Democratic Congress’ caucus in parliament perpetuate lawlessness.

Alexander Afenyo Markin was reacting to the NDC’s lawmakers’ decision to sit at the majority side of Parliament during the emergency Parliamentary recall on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

The Parliamentary recall was triggered by the Deputy Majority whip, Hon. Alex Tetteh Djornobuah following the indefinite adjournment of the house by the speaker, Alban Bagbin.

The NPP caucus where not seen on the floor of Parliament leading to another adjournment of the house sine die.

Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Thursday, November 7, the leader of the NPP caucus said, “The speaker supervised chaos …clearly the NDC is on a war path, they want confusion and they want lawlessness in this country and all these are being supervised by Mr. Speaker.

“The Speaker is setting the country on fire, we were disappointed with his non-reconciliatory posture during his press conference. We call on him to demonstrate statesmanship, we want him to know that although we were not happy on the day he was elected, it wasn’t the NDC that put him but members of our side.

“Mr. Speaker is hurting democracy…how can the speaker say he respects the constitution, but he will not subject himself to the dictate of the constitution.”
