Pollster, Ben Ephson has said the new speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin is a firm and fair person who can’t be controlled by anyone.
Alban Bagbin was elected the speaker for the 8th Parliament on Thursday dawn after the dissolution of the seventh Parliament.[ads2]
He defeated NPP’s Professor Mike Aaron Oquaye to clinch the top seat in the Parliament house.
Since his election, many have been asking whether the former NDC MP for Nadowli West will be fair in doing his job as the speaker for the 8th Parliament without any form of favouritism.[ads3]
But Ben Ephson in an interview has said Alban Bagbin is fair and even the NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama is aware that nobody can control him.
“Yes, NDC proposed him but I must be honest that even John Mahama knows that the man who is the speaker is a very fair person. When John Mahama was president, Bagbin took Mahama on. This is how firm the man is and I am sure because it was Bagbin, maybe one or two of the NPP MPs may have voted for Bagbin,” he said.[ads5]
