The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has announced the postponement of the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.

In a statement issued on Monday, October 6, 2025, the Speaker said the meeting which was initially scheduled to resume on October 14 has been deferred until further notice due to “circumstances beyond my control.”

The official notice, released from the Office of the Speaker in Accra, did not specify the reasons for the postponement but assured 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 stated.

The postponement delays the resumption of parliamentary business following recess. Lawmakers were expected to return this month to deliberate on a number of critical matters, including the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
