Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has postponed the reopening of Parliament indefinitely, citing unforeseen challenges that have made it impossible for the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament to commence as planned.
The meeting, which was originally scheduled to begin on October 14, 2025, has been deferred until further notice.
The decision was communicated in an official notice issued from the Speaker’s office in Accra on Monday, October 6, 2025.
The decision means that legislative business, including debates, committee reports, and pending bills, will remain on hold until Parliament reconvenes.
Although no specific reason was given for the postponement, Parliament’s administration is expected to issue a new schedule once the situation is resolved.
“Pursuant to the notice to summon Parliament dated September 29, 2025, I, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, hereby give notice that the commencement of the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic is deferred until further notice due to circumstances beyond my control,” the Speaker stated in the release.
