Doe Adjaho said he as the leader of the house has taken the first step and packed his files waiting for final proceedings of the house so he vacates the premises fully.

“I urge all of you non-returning MPs to leave these parliamentary precincts with enthusiasm and hope and demonstrate same by packing out and vacating your respective offices by January 6, 2017, in order to facilitate a smooth transition for the MPs elected to replace you.”

“To serve as an example, I have, as Speaker, already packed and only awaiting the conclusion of our final proceedings to vacate the Speaker’s Office to enable the incoming Speaker to assume his role seamlessly,” he added.

Many MPs, especially those from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a few from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), lost their seats. This means their stay in Parliament expires with the current Parliament on the night of January 6, 2017.

Adjaho congratulated the MPs who retained their seats and commended those who lost for allowing peace to prevail.

He entreated the outgoing MPs to trust in God even as they leave parliament.

“The God of the Mountain is still the God of the Valley. You may find solace in the incontestable truth that, with God as your anchor, there is, indeed, life beyond Parliament”.

He congratulated the president-elect Nana Akufo-Addo for winning the December polls. He was happy another former Member of Parliament has risen to become president of the country.
