Parliament reconvenes today after Bagbin’s recall

Parliament is set to reconvene on Monday, August 24, for a special session following a recall by Speaker Alban Bagbin. This occurs just a month after the House adjourned on July 31, 2026. The Speaker invoked Order 58(4) of Parliament’s Standing Orders, allowing him to bring the House back together when urgent parliamentary business demands.

During the special session, lawmakers are expected to meet from Monday, August 24, to Friday, August 28, to deliberate on pressing matters that cannot be postponed until the next regular sitting. Among the key issues to be addressed are the nominations of Mahama Ayariga for Minister-designate of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, and Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings for Environment, Science and Technology.
