‘In 1992 when the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) metamorphosed into the National Democratic Congress (NDC), it became a matter of choice for me to stand for election in my constituency and from then my parliamentary career has known no bounds,” he said.

He described his eight-year term as the Minority Leader (2001 -2008) as a very challenging period, adding that he however managed to ride the challenges till his party captured power in the 2008 general elections and formed the Majority in Parliament.

He said he intended to move parliamentary democracy forward to enable tolerance, accommodation of all shades of opinions, consensus building and compromises in addition to ensuring best parliamentary practices and procedures.

Hon. Bagbin noted that although achieving total parliamentary independence was utopian, he would work hard toward parliamentary autonomy to enable it to play its proper role in the country’s current political dispensation.

He was nominated to the office of the Minister for Water Resource, Works and Housing by H. E. Professor John Evans Atta Mills following a Cabinet Reshuffle in January 2010 and subsequently appointed Minister of Health.
