The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has denied saying the "2024 presidential elections will be between former President John Mahama and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia".

Bagbin, during a courtesy visit to the Overlord of Gonja, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunutu Jewu Soale, at his palace in Damongo reportedly predicted that the 2024 elections will witness a face-off between Mahama and Bawumia

However, in a statement issued by the Parliament's Public Affairs Directorate, the Speaker said he didn't make a prediction and that he only made "reference to the two politicians"

"The Speaker made reference to the two politicians at the said event, but it was not an exercise in prediction. He suggested that what should be of interest to the people in northern Ghana, in which context he was speaking, is that they will be well represented at the apex of Ghana's political structure, and that should be a source of pride to them."

The statement further indicated that: "The Rt. Hon. Speaker explained that despite political differences, we are one people with a common destiny. Our common goal therefore should be to work towards the common good of all Ghanaians, irrespective of our political differences."
