Ghana’s representative at the 13th Commonwealth Youth Parliament, Precious Akos Agrobesa, has been elected Crossbench Whip for the Green Justice Movement in the New Albion Parliament in Sydney, Australia.
Her election places her in a key leadership role ahead of the debate on the Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Integrity Bill 2026.
The proposed legislation seeks to address the growing influence of artificial intelligence on democratic governance, elections, political communication and public trust.
As Crossbench Whip, Ms Agrobesa will coordinate the activities of members of the Green Justice Movement during parliamentary proceedings. Her responsibilities include preparing members for debates, maintaining party discipline, building consensus and helping shape the group’s position on the bill.
The Green Justice Movement serves as the Crossbench Party in the New Albion Parliament and holds the balance of power between the government and opposition.
This gives the group a significant role in determining whether the bill is passed, amended or rejected, making Ms Agrobesa’s leadership crucial to the parliamentary process.
Speaking after her election, she described the opportunity as an honour and privilege, pledging to provide effective leadership as the Crossbench engages with the proposed legislation.
She also expressed her commitment to ensuring that the Green Justice Movement contributes meaningfully to discussions on the responsible use and regulation of artificial intelligence.
The debate is expected to focus on how governments can harness the benefits of AI while protecting electoral integrity, transparency, democratic institutions and public confidence.
Ms Agrobesa’s election marks another milestone for Ghana and the University of Media, Arts and Communication as she takes on a prominent role at the international youth parliamentary gathering.
