Ruling Party Communicator Accuses Speaker Alban Bagbin of Intentionally Sabotaging Mahama Administration

Internal ideological friction has erupted within the ruling political apparatus regarding the management of high-profile legislative portfolios. National Democratic Congress communications team member Nii Saka Allotey has launched a scathing public attack against the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin.

Speaking during a live political broadcast on Hot FM, the party communicator openly branded the veteran legislative leader as a traitor, claiming that his current administrative maneuvers are deliberately calculated to undermine President John Dramani Mahama’s government.

The intense intra-party dispute stems from the recent controversial passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill. The sweeping statutory legislation, which introduces strict criminal penalties for homosexuality and mandates the public reporting of prohibited activities, was fully approved by the legislature on Friday May 29 2026.

Logic dictates that an organization cannot function efficiently if its chief officer publicly undermines the decisions made by his own deputies. Upon returning from an official travel assignment, Speaker Bagbin expressed deep dissatisfaction with the swift passage of the bill under his deputy’s supervision, stating that he expected the house to remain within the preliminary consideration stage.

During a high-level meeting with the Supreme Court 150th Anniversary Planning Committee on Thursday June 11 2026, Bagbin insisted that the highly sensitive bill could still be completely revisited. Nii Saka Allotey furiously rejected this rationale, arguing that Bagbin is attempting to repeat his 2016 behavior where his public criticisms of Mahama’s appointments directly contributed to the party’s historic electoral defeat. The communicator questioned why the Speaker behaves as though his deputies lack the intellectual capacity to manage the house, noting that many party loyalists originally opposed Mahama’s decision to endorse Bagbin for the seat.

Hoping that a major political party can secure a smooth legislative agenda while its primary media officers are busy calling the Speaker of Parliament a traitor on live radio is an absolute logical error. While watching top tier politicians trade bitter insults makes for fantastic weekend entertainment, public infighting ultimately damages institutional stability.

True governance relies on strict collective responsibility rather than personal grudges from past election cycles. By allowing internal finger-pointing over the anti-LGBTQ bill to dominate the national media space, the ruling party risks alienating moderate voters who prefer systematic legislative progress over chaotic internal screaming matches.
