The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has announced a deferment of the commencement of the third meeting of the first session of the ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
In a formal notice dated October 6, 2025, the Speaker explained that the scheduled meeting—originally set to resume on October 14, 2025—has been deferred until further notice.
The Speaker said the decision was due to “circumstances beyond his control.”
The deferral means that parliamentary activities—expected to resume this month following the recess—will remain on hold.
“Pursuant to the notice to summon Parliament dated 29th September, 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 statement read.
