The ECOWAS parliament has just elected anew speaker alongside 115 new members for the regional parliament.
The Senegalese born Moustapha Cisse-Lo who emerged unopposed, was unanimously elected by the Anglophone and Francophone member states to steer the affairs of the parliament for the next four years.
This was at the inaugural session of the 4th legislature of the ECOWAS parliament.
He takes over the reins of the parliament from Nigeria's outgoing Speaker, Ike Ekweremadu, who has already set a major task for his incumbent. Mr Cisse-Lo is expected to take charge of the parliament, ensuring that the supplementary act is adopted to enhance the powers of the regional parliament.
