The Parliamentary Candidate for Upper East Region, Michael Abanga has expressed his interest to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo about whom he deems fit for the position of the eighth Speaker of Parliament.
“Mr Ossei-Aidooh is a former Deputy Minority Leader, former Majority Leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and is also a practicing lawyer with more than 40 years at the Bar. We, as a party, have in him, the quintessence of a lawyer and law practitioner”.
The MP for the Upper East Region believes that Mr Ossei-Aidooh was not treated fairly by the President in this first term of office and as such wants the President to make up for it by giving him the role of the Speaker in his new tenure.
“In the first term of our party under you Mr. President, this great father of our party was not honored with any befitting position, and it is understandable because the NPP is filled to the brim with great leaders. However, we strongly believe that the time has come for him to be honored with something appropriate, and the Speaker’s position is the ideal offer to make,”Mr Abanga said.

“He is respected in both the NPP and the NDC and given that Parliament will be tight due to the lack of clear Parliamentary majority, an experienced person is what we will require to enable us steer through policies, not only for the benefit of government, but also for the benefit of the nation.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency on his expectations in the next government, he said he was expecting a well-organized parliament considering the fact that the NPP and NDC were both having almost the same number of seats and Mr Aidooh that he had a working stint with was the most qualified for the position to succeed Rt. Hon. Prof. Aaron Michael Ocquaye.
When asked if he was being the mouthpiece of the Party, Mr Abagna said he is not an Executive Member of the Party and was therefore speaking for himself as an Activist of the Party as said by adom online.
