Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin is expected to recall the House in early November, according to an official statement.
This statement was issued by the Speaker’s office on Wednesday (31 October) following deliberations with a delegation from the Council of State.
Led by chairman Nana Otuo Siriboe II, the Council of State called on Speaker Bagbin to discuss recent legislative challenges that led to the indefinite adjournment of Parliament.
After detailed discussions, the Council assured the Speaker of their commitment to assist in resolving any existing issues to facilitate Parliament’s swift recall.
In response, Speaker Bagbin highlighted his dedication to advancing Ghana’s democracy and shared plans to briefly attend the upcoming 67th Conference of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) in Sydney, Australia, where he will formally hand over the CPA presidency.
However, he noted that he will return earlier than scheduled to initiate the parliamentary recall, underscoring his commitment to addressing pressing national matters with urgency.
