The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has announced that Parliament will reconvene on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. for the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament.

This follows the earlier suspension of the meeting, which had been scheduled for October 14, 2025.

A notice from the Speaker’s Office dated October 8, 2025, confirmed the new date, citing Order 58 of Parliament’s Standing Orders. 

“Pursuant to Order 58 of the Standing Orders of Parliament, I give notice that the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic shall now commence on Tuesday, 21st day of October 2025 at 1400 hours at Parliament House, Accra,” the statement read.

In that earlier communication, Speaker Bagbin attributed the suspension to “circumstances beyond control,” without elaborating further. 

Members of Parliament are expected to reconvene from recess to deliberate on key national matters, including bills, motions, and policy statements from government ministries and agencies.

The meeting marks the final parliamentary session for the year and is anticipated to feature debates on legislative and fiscal issues ahead of the presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
