Member of Parliament for Madina and human rights lawyer, Francis-Xavier Sosu, has been appointed Vice President of the West African Caucus of the African Parliamentary Union (APU).
The announcement was made during a West African Parliamentary meeting held on the sidelines of the 83rd Session of the APU Executive Committee in Rabat, Morocco, from 21 to 22 May.
Sosu was part of Ghana’s delegation to the session, nominated by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
The delegation was led by the Second Deputy Speaker and Member of Parliament for Fomena, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, who also nominated Sosu for the Vice Presidential role and his nomination was unanimously approved by delegates.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation included Member of Parliament for Lawra-Nandom Bede Ziedeng, Member of Parliament for Akuapem North Sammy Awuku, Member of Parliament for Nkwanta North, John Oti Bless, and Member of Parliament for Atwima Nwabiagya South, Shirley Kyei
At the meeting, the West African Caucus resolved to prioritise addressing the rise in terrorism and the erosion of democratic governance within the sub-region.
These concerns are expected to shape the agenda for the broader APU conference scheduled for late 2025.
Alioune Gureyre from Mali was appointed President of the Caucus, with Lawson Raymonde of Togo serving as Secretary.
