The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, is scheduled to administer the oath of office today to Bernard Bediako Baidoo and Professor Alidu Seidu, the newly elected Members of Parliament for Akwatia and Tamale Central, respectively.
Mr. Baidoo clinched victory in the Akwatia by-election with 18,199 votes, following the passing of the late Ernest Yaw Kumi. In Tamale Central, Professor Seidu was declared elected unopposed, succeeding the late Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, who tragically died in a helicopter crash on August 6, 2025.
Both legislators, representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), are expected to be formally sworn in during today’s sitting of Parliament.
