The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has recalled the House from recess to sit between Monday, August 24 and Friday, August 28, 2026.
In a formal notice issued from Parliament House, Accra, the Speaker invoked Order 58(4) of the Standing Orders of Parliament, directing members to reconvene at 12 noon on August 24 to deliberate on urgent parliamentary business.
The recall underscores the need for immediate legislative attention to matters deemed critical to national governance. While details of the agenda have not yet been disclosed, parliamentary sources suggest that the sitting will focus on pressing issues requiring timely resolution before the next regular session.
This move highlights the Speaker’s constitutional authority to summon Parliament outside its normal calendar, ensuring that urgent matters do not stall during recess. Observers note that such recalls are rare and often signal significant developments in the country’s political or economic landscape.
The recalled session is expected to draw keen public and political interest as lawmakers return to Accra to debate and decide on matters of national importance.
