The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has announced the postponement of the commencement of the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
In an official notice released on Monday, October 6, 2025, the Speaker explained that the meeting, which was initially scheduled to resume on October 14 following a notice issued on September 29, 2025, has been deferred until further notice due to “circumstances beyond my control.”
The statement, issued from the Office of the Speaker of Parliament in Accra, did not provide reasons for the postponement but indicated that a new date would be communicated later.
“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.
The deferral means that parliamentary proceedings, which were expected to resume this month after recess, will remain on hold until a new date is announced.
This development comes at a time when the House was expected to consider key legislative and policy matters, including the presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
