Speaker Bagbin Reinstates Suspended MPs After Leadership Appeal.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has lifted the suspension of four Members of Parliament (MPs) following a heated vetting session on January 30, 2025. The MPs—Rockson Nelson Dafeamakpor (South Dayi), Frank Annor-Dompreh (Nsawam-Adoagyiri), Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli (Gushiegu), and Jerry Ahmed Shaib (Weija-Gbawe)—were barred from parliamentary proceedings after a tense confrontation over procedural disagreements.The decision to reinstate them came after Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga jointly appealed to the Speaker, stressing the importance of unity and smooth legislative operations.
