Parliament has officially wrapped up its second meeting of the year, bringing the legislative session to a close after weeks of rigorous debate and scrutiny of national issues.
The adjournment, which took effect Friday, August 1, 2025, came after 43 sittings.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, in his closing address, vowed continued vigilance over the Mahama administration, raising red flags over rising galamsey activities, incidents of electoral violence—particularly in Ablekuma North—and the mistreatment of journalists.
He also accused the government of targeting indigenous businesses, referencing the demolition of a McDan Group property.
Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga countered the accusations, defending the government’s record and citing over 1,000 ongoing galamsey-related prosecutions.
He urged MPs to prioritize their well-being and remain active in addressing their constituents’ concerns during the recess.
A statement on behalf of Speaker Alban Bagbin, delivered by First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor, commended members for their commitment to parliamentary business and urged them to use the break to deepen engagement with their constituencies.
Over the session, Parliament handled a packed agenda—processing nearly 500 questions, passing eight out of 13 bills presented, enforcing six legal instruments, and adopting several key resolutions and statements.
The House stands adjourned sine die and is expected to resume in October, barring any emergency recall.
