Parliament holds first sitting Today after recess

Parliament is set to reconvene today, Monday, May 27, for the Second Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.

The announcement was made by Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin in a formal notice issued in accordance with Order 58 of the Standing Orders of Parliament.

The session marks the end of the recent recess and the official resumption of parliamentary business, with Members of Parliament (MPs) expected to return to the Chamber to address a range of legislative and governance matters.

Key activities for this session include debates on pressing national issues, the review and passage of bills, and the consideration of reports from various parliamentary committees.

Parliament is also expected to serve as a forum for rigorous scrutiny and discussion of government policies, reaffirming its central role in the country’s democratic process.

Ahead of the sitting, the Minority Caucus held a strategic retreat over the weekend to assess its performance and map out priorities for the session.

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin underscored the caucus’s commitment to accountability and good governance.

“We are sending a strong message to our opponents—we will hold their feet to the fire while remaining a responsible opposition. I assure Ghanaians that we are ready to take power in 2028,” he stated.
