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 issued on Monday, October 6, 2025, the Speaker stated that the meeting, which was initially scheduled to resume on October 14 following a notice issued on September 29, has been deferred until further notice due to what he described as “circumstances beyond my control.”
The statement, released from the Office of the Speaker of Parliament in Accra, did not specify the reasons for the postponement but indicated that a new date would be communicated in due course.
“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 announced.
The deferral means that parliamentary proceedings, which were expected to resume this month after the recess, will remain on hold until a new date is announced.
The development comes at a crucial time, as the House was expected to deliberate on major legislative and policy matters, including the presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
