Parliament reconvenes today, Tuesday, May 27, 2025, as the Second Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament officially begins following the Easter recess.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, announced the resumption in a formal notice issued on May 12, in line with Order 58 of the Standing Orders of the Parliament of Ghana. The House is expected to sit from 10:00 a.m. at Parliament House in Accra.

The new meeting marks the return of full parliamentary activity, with legislators set to engage in debates, committee work, and the scrutiny of key national issues.

One of the major events on the calendar will be the presentation of the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review by the Minister for Finance, expected in August.

Speaking on Citi FM ahead of today’s sitting, the Second Deputy Majority Whip Richard Acheampong highlighted the busy schedule for the session, noting that ministerial statements will be key to evaluating sectoral performance and outlining future plans.

“The ministers will make their statements so we can assess their achievements over the past three months and understand their plans going forward. We have a packed agenda this sitting, including the mid-year budget review in August,” Acheampong said.

Ahead of the sitting, the Minority Caucus held a weekend retreat to reflect on its legislative performance and to set strategic priorities for the new session.

The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin reaffirmed the caucus’s commitment to strong oversight and indicated its long-term political ambition.

“We are sending a strong message to our opponents—we will hold their feet to the fire while remaining a responsible opposition. I assure Ghanaians that we are ready to take power in 2028,” he declared.
