Interesting times.
Bleeding and crying is allowed.
Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, man of the moment. BRAVO!
BAMMM!!! The man of the moment indeed - the man who single-handedly put the NPP in minority even before a single vote was cast, defying the Supreme Court (aka Unanimous FC) in the process - all hail the most powerful man in t ...

What a stupid comment. There is no Chinese wall between a southerner and a northerner.
Grow up.
We welcome the nomination of Rt Hon A S. Bagbin as Speaker.
We pray he continues to be patriotic, nationalist and respectful.
@KWEKU BOATENG, BUT AKAN TRADERS HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT FROM KANTAMANTO FOR CHINESE TRADERS TO TAKE OVER.
THE PEOPLE THAT SHOUTED HOSANNA WERE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SHOUTED CRUCIFY HIM! WE ARE WATCHING EVERYTHING. WE SAW WHAT PEOPLE WROTE AND SAID ABOUT NADAA IN 2016 AND WE ALSO READ WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT JOHN MAHAMA IN 2016.
Why don't you go and kill yourself?
Muahahhaaaaaassaaa
You are so stupid to think that the country belongs to a certain clan. Wherever you go to, you will be seen as an alien. When the "whites" call you "monkeys and slaves" , you say they are racist. If you are calling people you ...

@ Finland. Better yet, don't leave Ghana you can easily kill yourself by self immolation and you won't be missed.
Another idiot! Killed myself because Attia ne Attongo are leaders, your mother. No weapon formed by Attia ne Attongo shall survive. It's alien to me because I grew up having Attia and Attongo as my dad's farm labourers, and ...

Bawumia's face should be smeared with Atia shit and Antonio of Finland will lick all clean with his villager tongue because Atia Bawumia is an NPP animal. Kwasea
Antonio it's ok with your foolishness. We are tired of you. It's better you stay mute and cry within yourself wai. Nkwasiafuor like you are not to be entertained at all. Gyimieeee saaaaaaaaaaaa
Oh poor Antonio! Attaching Finland to your name alone says a lot about your unstable mindset. You're hurt, deeply hurt by the devastating pummelling of your NPP. Sorry. Unfortunately primitive and primordial tribal bigotry wi ...

Retain Dampare as well and let's see if he can be ethical
TsastuTsikata for chief justice
He's not strong again, healthwise.
Animals how will he b the cj
Mahama, you have the overwhelming support of Ghanaians. Just make sure you pay attention to the needs and concerns of the people and your party will forever remain in power
ALL HAIL THE GATE KEEPER OF THE PARLIAMENT HOUSE. NO GOAT GO CROSS THEREE
Are you saved
Life is short
Death is sure
Hell is real
Jesus saves
THE PEOPLE THAT SHOUTED HOSANNA WERE THE FACE PEOPLE WHO SHOUTED CRUCIFY HIM! WE ATE WATCHING EVERYTHING. WE SAW WHAT PEOPLE WROTE AND SAID ABOUT NADAA IN 2016 AND WE ALSO READ WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT JOHN MAHAMA IN 2016.
Retain Dampare as well
We salute you Mr. President and Congratulations Rt. Hon. A.S.K Bagbin. He's the right person at this time.
We trust in your leadership. Keep it up
We thank God. Bagbin all the way.
Best decision
Super. Bagbin is more than qualified for the job. The foolish, stupid, pompous, overhyped, overbloated, smallpin afenyo markin now knows his diminutive smoothness level. Foolish Ewe alossman like that.
And who gets the first deputy speaker's position? The second deputy speaker's position should go to an Independent MP of known NDC background. Thanks.
Speaker one
Yeaaaahhh yeh. Afenyo Kwasea Markin will go and thief sand in Sierra Leone as protest. Go to Court
Afenyo Markin has visited the toilet 7 times already upon hearing this news
In fact he deserves it. The man has demonstrated that his conscience is intact and cannot be influenced or manipulated by any other arm of government. He is smart and independent in thinking. Anyway, is Afenyo-Markin aware an ...

He cannot be influenced or manipulated but he has accepted the nomination by the incoming President-election soon to be the head of the executive branch? Does Bagbin realize that Mahama has, in essence, appointed him? What a ...

Excellent decision. But equally important is to change the CJ, EC Chairperson and Governor of the BOG by latest next month otherwise your reset and ORAL efforts will be simply thwarted.
Only change ec head but keep cj and bog head let them fix their own mess if they don't kill or jail them
Tsatsu tsikata for Chief Justice
Would have been great but for his age or he's not yet past the retirement age?
Unfortunately, he won't accept it.
Tsatsu Tsikata is not qualified for the position of CJ. Go and read the Constitution.
According to the constitution of Ghana,the Chief Justice shall be appointed by the President acting in consultation with the Council of State and with the approval of Parliament.
The best speaker in the 4th Republic, he can be a better president too, thanks Mr. incoming president
"Bring your "enemy" closer, they'll be mo loyal"
Mahama is very keen on resetting the country hence the need for tried and tested positive speaker,bravoooo
Bagbin is sick. More hospital bills.
Thank u president elect for this awesome decision
Kindly find a place for our father Tsatsu chikata as retirement benefits. In fact, making him the chief justice will be very very awesome
Power drunk and biased speaker!!! He’s gotten what he wanted .
You can cry boune
Wailing and crying is allowed
NPP should also present somebody i know it is difficult but it will make it more competitive
Bawumia has already taken refuge at the Weija Leprosy Hospital Ward B. His nose is now flat like a cow having Leprosy
Only a fool puts his trust in an earthly man and woe onto that person because, he is bound to be disappointed. We pray that Ghana succeed through the mercy and grace of God and by hardworking of the general populace with maxi ...

What happens to regional balance?
No . 1 & 3 are from the North.
Is Bawumia not from the North? Stop the gyimie talk
Albert stop foooooooling oooo. You should have said the same thing to Akuffo kraman Addo when he was appointing Akans and his family into bigger positions. Gyimeeeee
You deserve it. Congratulations
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU THE HONOURABLE SPEAKER OF THE 9Th PARLIAMENT ALBAN BAGBIN, BUT EXPECT FIRE FROM THE MINORITY LEADER OF THE 9Th PARLIAMENT HONOURABLE ALEXANDER. A. MARKIN, SHALOM AND FAREWELL.
Are Ewes only good to be used?
What about the world class ORAL Committee with 3 Ewes?
Excellent choice! Bagbin is a very matured and objective speaker. Ghana has won one more time. Well done, Mr. President-elect.
The Alban Bag in the Bin has won the heart of my good friend John Dramani Mahama.
Now CJ must dance to the new music or be removed from office. Bagbin and JM will show him real pepper
The CJ is a her, not a him
God will help president John Mahama and the NDC to reset Ghana because JM by deed is showing signs that he is humble by the overwhelming victory Ghanaians have given him. Speaker Bagbin is the man Ghana needs now to stop the ...

These politicians should let us have peace of mind. They just talk with words and how and at the end we see no results.
It is finished.
You do not change a winning team
Kwaku Azar will be the new chief justice. He is neutral
Correct
Bagbin aka npp chief terror
We are talking of osrluamentary democracy here. Parliament nominates and votes for the Speaker of Parliament, nit the president or president-elect. Why did we nit hear that president Akuffo Addo had nominated Prof Mike Oquay ...

But mark it. NDC will realise its mistake abd come out to deny it!
Adjaho for CJ.
He is number three (3) what of .....? Thanks to JDM and the NDC fraternity.
Isnt this the responsibility of Parliament? Does Mahama think he came to power through a Coup or Democratic process.
Our Constitution does not provide a role for the President in the appointment of a Speaker. This is solel ...

You can go and hug the transformer after that you go burn the sea. Since Nana Addo has taught us how to make appointment, JDM you are free to even nominate Farida she is also a Ghanaian.
You are likely to jump into a burning Kantamanto Market when the Supreme Court rules that its not the role of a President to appoint a Speaker but Parliamentarians and that a vote should take place for the Speaker to be cons ...

And who will your NPP nominate? Mike Oquaye? His kwasea son Mike Oquaye Jnr. is already crying maaa maaa in our constituency Dome Kwabenya
Given your response im glad you giving a thought to my 1 gallon of petrol offer. No need to rush for a decision. That gallon of petrol come what nay, rsin or shine has the nane of your head written on it. Would you need some ...

The God of mahama
Hope the NDC had big vision and policies like the loud noise and rudness in Parliament..NOUSE ABD MARCH PASS DON'T DEVELOP A NATION BUT VISION AND GOOD POLICIIES..
A grevious mistake!!! Bagbin is undisciplined and cannot maintain law and order in the house. I am afraid not much is going to change under Mahama's administration. Ghana we are doomed!!
But this was to be expected, this is no news! He did all the propaganda to frustrate the incumbent government for you so is this new?
Hypocrisy or strategic nominate
The wise speaker of parliament ever in the 4th republic
If he starts like this his 4 yrs is going to be filled with Court cases right up to the Supreme Court and unlikely to achieve anything until he leaves in 2028.
If JDM wants to see any success he should stick to the Constit ...

Why not. Perfect choice
Even with NPP in power the parliamentarians liked him.
Kofi Boakye as interior minister will not be bad
Piiaaaooooo Piiaaaooooo Piiaaaooooo.
!!!!! Hot girls are waiting for you on >> www.Sexy24.mom
Congratulations
This is a crazy choice.
President Mahama has a golden heart. No wonder God always uplifts him above his enemies. If it were vindictive Akuffo Addo, Bagbin would never have smelled the post of the speaker.
I love the move. Bagbin, I trust together, you'll help ghanaians
JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA IS CREATING A BANANA REPUBLIC IN THE 9TH PARLIAMENT IN ORDER TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE GHANAS OIL, GOLD AND LITHIUM.
Dear Ghanaweb,
The president-elect doesn't not have the constitutional duty to nominated who to be the speaker of his administration. The letter is only a request of the NDC caucus to nominate the current speaker. The cauc ...

At his age, he can't be influence by worldly things. Reason why he's the best choice. Just look at his experience gathered all these years in the house. Congratulations my senior brother. I wish you well.
