"... 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.
The House after being inaugurated will decide amongst the two who will helm the affairs of Parliament in the next four years.

The NDC, who have taken to referring themselves as the Majority side in Parliament believes that the NPP does not have absolute power in the House and as such will fight for their due.
