Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has officially sworn in Ewurabena Aubynn as the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North.
Ewurabena Aubynn was sworn in on Tuesday, 22 July 2025, despite the minority staging a walkout.
Speaker Bagbin denied the minority’s request to deliver a statement before the swearing-in of the MP.
Ewurabena Aubynn was sworn in after the Electoral Commission declared her the winner of the Ablekuma North seat after a rerun of some 19 polling stations.
The now Ablekuma MP secured a narrow victory with 34,090 votes, defeating the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Akua Afriyie, who acquired 33,881 votes.
Speaker Bagbin on the floor of parliament, urged Ewurabena Aubynn to be diligent and humble, as four years is just a day.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, July 22, Speaker Bagbin stated, “I will take this opportunity to congratulate you and also urge you to be punctual, ever present in Parliament, be calm, listen more, learn from your colleagues, but please read everything, and not only the Constitution and the Standing Orders”.
“You are now the hope of the people in the constituency. They are looking up to you to do something to improve their lives. It is a trust, and this I pray you don’t abuse,” he said.
He added, “Four years is just a day. You will go back to them, and they will assess you this time based on your performance. So please don’t be misled by other people.”
