A thanksgiving service has been held at Christ the King Church in Cantonments, Accra, for the Speaker of the eighth parliament of the Fourth Republic, Alban Bagbin, on his successful election to the high office.
The service was attended by the two deputy Speakers, current and former MPs, the Clerk to Parliament and parliamentary staff.
The running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Election 2020, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, represented former President John Dramani Mahama at the service.
In a speech to show his appreciation, Bagbin recognised God’s favour in the events leading to his election and quoted the popular Christian saying that he who kneels before God can stand before any man.
He pledged to seek God’s face and guidance in all his dealings during the four years he will serve as Speaker.
The main celebrant of service was Father Andrew Campbell.
