Alban Bagbin summons Parliament to reconvene on November 3

Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has officially summoned the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic to reconvene for the Third Meeting of the Second Session. The legislative body is scheduled to resume its sittings on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Parliament House in Accra. The notice for the resumption was issued by the Speaker on October 20, acting in accordance with the Standing Orders of the House. This summons signals the end of the recent recess and calls back lawmakers to their official duties in the capital. The Ninth Parliament, which began its tenure in January 2025, will use this meeting to continue its legislative and deliberative functions. While the specific agenda and order paper for the upcoming meeting have yet to be publicly released, the session is expected to focus on reviewing key legislative proposals and conducting rigorous oversight of government activities. The Third Meeting of any session often involves the consideration of significant bills and financial statements that require parliamentary approval. The reconvening provides an opportunity for the NDC-led government under President John Mahama and the opposition NPP to debate pressing national issues within the chamber. As the Ninth Parliament enters this new meeting, the focus remains on ensuring efficient governance and legislative productivity for the remainder of the session.
