The information gathered has revealed that Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin never visited the Jubilee House to see President Akufo-Addo after declaring 4 seats vacant in parliament.
An old video of Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, at the Jubilee House had resurfaced on X that was being portrayed as a recent visit to the presidency amid the power struggle between Parliament and the Supreme Court.
On October 21, 2024, the viral video was shared on X by some political activists.
In the video, Speaker Bagbin and some Members of Parliament (MPs) were captured walking towards the entrance of the Jubilee House, which has been purported as a recent video of the Speaker going to the Jubilee House after declaring four seats vacant in parliament.
Meanwhile, the Parliament of Ghana on October 22, 2024, issued a statement signed by a Deputy Director for Media Relations, Dr Lawrence Kwarteng-Ashia asking the public to dismiss the rumor circulating that Bagbin had held a meeting at the Jubilee House.
Part of the parliament statement read, “Parliament states without equivocation that there is no iota of truth in the insinuation in the circulated video. The video in question was taken on 4th July 2024, when the Rt. Hon. Speaker led a delegation to present the maiden Democracy Cup to the President. The attempt to wrongly label the video and twist facts to impugn the integrity of the Rt. Hon. Speaker and Parliament is not only disingenuous but unfortunate”.
The claims in the viral video that Speaker Bagbin visited the Jubilee House to meet Akufo-Addo are false.
