The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has urged newly sworn-in Member of Parliament for the Ayawaso East Constituency, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, to remain committed to serving the people who elected him.
Mr. Baba Jamal Ahmed was sworn into office on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, during a brief ceremony held in the chamber of the Parliament of Ghana.
During the ceremony, the new lawmaker took the oath of office and the oath of allegiance administered by the Speaker, officially assuming his role as the representative of Ayawaso East in Parliament.
Addressing the new MP after the swearing-in, Speaker Bagbin reminded him of the promises he made to constituents during his campaign and stressed the importance of prioritising their needs.
“During your campaign, you promised the people of Ayawaso East that you wanted to serve them as a Member of Parliament, and by doing so, serve Ghana. You don’t want to serve Ghana as a High Commissioner in Nigeria,” the Speaker said.
Bagbin further indicated that he would closely monitor the performance of the new legislator to ensure he fulfils his commitment to the people.
“I took note of those statements, and I am going to hold you, as my son, accountable to the good people of Ayawaso East. Serving them, you must. So I will focus on you on this floor to see how you perform in serving them,” he added.
The swearing-in of Baba Jamal Ahmed formally fills the Ayawaso East parliamentary seat and allows him to participate in debates and legislative processes in Parliament.
