The Seventh Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana will commence on Monday, December 16, 2024, at 10:00 am.
Speaker Alban Bagbin said in a statement the meeting will take place at a venue to be announced in due course.
This announcement comes after Speaker Bagbin rejected a request by Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to recall Parliament for an emergency session, citing the need to prioritize election campaigns and avoid disrupting the electoral process.
Speaker Bagbin emphasized that recalling Parliament at this time would not be in the national interest, adding that “the national interest would better be served if members exhibit conduct of honour, empathy, and humility in the performance of their duties”.
Parliament is expected to resume sitting after the December 7 general elections to finalize all critical business and ensure a smooth transition to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
