The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has sworn in Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed as the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East Constituency.
This follows his victory in a recent by-election last month.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in Parliament on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, where the Speaker Bagbin, administered the oath of office.
During the ceremony, Speaker Bagbin urged Baba Jamal to be accountable to the good people of Ayawaso East, stressing that he will personally focus on him on the floor to see how he performs in serving his constituents.
"You voluntarily offered yourself to serve the good people of the Ayawaso East Constituency. In your campaign, you stated that you want to serve them as a Member of Parliament," the Speaker said, adding that Mr Jamal would be accountable to his constituents.
Mr Jamal’s return to Parliament comes after a by-election was necessitated by the death of the former MP for the constituency.
Prior to contesting the seat, he resigned from Ghana’s Ambassador to Nigeria to participate in the parliamentary primary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which he subsequently won.
The party's primary, held on February 7, attracted significant political attention amid allegations of vote-buying during the process.
Mr Jamal previously served as Member of Parliament for the Akwatia Constituency from 2009 to 2013, bringing experience and familiarity with parliamentary duties to his new role.
