Speaker of Ghana's Parliament Alban Bagbin has called on new Members of Parliament to prioritise the nation’s interests over partisan politics.

Speaking at an orientation for the new MPs in Accra on Saturday, January 11, 2025, the Speaker emphasised the importance of focusing on Ghana’s challenges and working diligently to address them.

“I want to urge you to stay focused and work assiduously towards addressing the challenges facing our nation. That is the number one, not the [political] party [or] the nation. It is very critical and those of you who are not observant please refocus,” Bagbin stated.

He highlighted the long-term benefits of putting Ghana first, noting that politicians who prioritise the nation’s interests tend to advance further in their careers.

“Those who really take Ghana first advance in politics than those who are extremely partisan. When you are extremely partisan you may ascend in a regime but in the next one you will collapse because you are seen to identify yourself with one personality who may be the leader so after that leader you are not relevant again,” Bagbin added.
