Speaker recalls Parliament for urgent business

By Francis Kobena Tandoh

The Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has recalled Parliament from recess to sit for five days to consider what he describes as urgent parliamentary business, according to a notice on Wednesday.

In a notice, the Speaker directed Members of Parliament (MP) to return to the House from Monday, August 24, to Friday, August 28, 2026.

The recall, which was made under Order 58(4) of the Standing Orders of Parliament, comes less than three weeks after the House was adjourned on July 31.

Parliament was initially expected to remain on recess until October, but the Speaker has now directed the MPs to resume sitting at noon on Monday, August 24, at Parliament House in Accra.

The notice, however, did not specify the urgent parliamentary business that necessitated the recall. Enditem
