Parliament resumes sittings today, Tuesday, May 27, 2025, marking the start of the Second Meeting of the First Session of the 9th Parliament. This follows a recess observed during the Easter period.
With the resumption, lawmakers return to full parliamentary business, including legislative debates, committee engagements, and deliberations on pressing national issues.
A major highlight of the upcoming session will be the expected appearance of the Minister for Finance in August to present the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review to the House.
Speaking to Citi News, Second Deputy Majority Whip, Richard Acheampong, outlined the agenda for the sitting.
“The ministers will make their statements so we can assess their achievements over the past three months and understand their plans going forward. We have a packed agenda this sitting, including the mid-year budget review in August,” Acheampong said.
Ahead of today’s sitting, the Minority Caucus held a strategic retreat over the weekend to evaluate its performance and outline key priorities for the new session.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin reiterated the caucus’s commitment to strong parliamentary oversight while signaling its readiness to assume leadership in the next political cycle.
“We are sending a strong message to our opponents—we will hold their feet to the fire while remaining a responsible opposition. I assure Ghanaians that we are ready to take power in 2028,” he stated.
