Speaker Alban Bagbin
Recently, a video of Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, has taken social media by storm. Posted on January 17, 2025, the clip shows Bagbin enjoying himself on the dance floor, dressed in a striking all-white agbada. He was seen dancing alongside an unidentified lady to the popular tune “Nanka Ebeye Den” by the legendary highlife musician, Nana Acheampong.
The location and details of the event remain unclear, but the video has quickly captured the attention of netizens. Bagbin’s carefree dancing has sparked a variety of reactions online, showcasing a lighter side of the politician. Known for his serious role in Parliament, this glimpse into his personal life has provided a refreshing contrast.
Alban Bagbin is no stranger to public life. He was re-elected as Speaker of the 9th Parliament after having served in the 8th Parliament. His long political career includes representing the Nadowli Kaleo Constituency in the Upper West Region of Ghana across multiple parliamentary terms. In 2019, he even ran for the presidential candidate slot of the National Democratic Congress but lost to President John Dramani Mahama. Moreover, he has previously served as Ghana’s Minister for Health.
The video has not only entertained but also reminded the public that politicians are also human beings with the ability to let loose and enjoy life. As Bagbin dances, he bridges the gap between his political persona and the everyday experiences of Ghanaians.
