"... the most experienced Parliamentarian in Africa in my opinion is Alban Bagbin. And I can tell you on authority that he has my vote.
"I am unwavering about this decision not just because he is NDC but because he represents the collective people in Parliament and in Ghana so he has my vote," he stressed.
Barely 24-hours, after the New Patriotic Party submitted Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye as the Speaker of the 8th Parliament the NDC in Parliament on Tuesday, proposed Alban Sumani Bagbin as the next Speaker of the House.
