Parliament will reconvene today, November 7, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, following a summons from Speaker Alban Bagbin under Article 112(3) of the 1992 Constitution and parliamentary standing orders.
The reconvening comes after an indefinite adjournment sparked by an impasse over Speaker Bagbin’s decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
This decision led to a significant standoff, halting parliamentary proceedings and necessitating a resolution to move forward with the legislative agenda.
A recent meeting between Speaker Bagbin and a five-member delegation from the Council of State helped pave the way for today’s session.
During the discussions, Council members reaffirmed their support for Speaker Bagbin and the House leadership, committing to assist in addressing issues that could obstruct parliamentary activities.
With members reconvening after a brief recess, today’s session is expected to be pivotal in advancing key legislative matters and restoring parliamentary order.
