Parliament will resume sittings today, Tuesday, October 21, 2025, for the Third Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament.
The session, which marks the final one for the legislative year, is expected to be a busy period as the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, prepares to present the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy in mid-November.
Two newly elected National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament, Bernard Bediako Baidoo for Akwatia and Professor Alidu Seidu for Tamale Central, will be officially sworn in during this meeting.
The Appointments Committee is also set to vet Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, who has been nominated for the position of Chief Justice.
Additionally, government is expected to lay before the House a legislative instrument to repeal L.I. 2462, which currently empowers the President to permit mining in forest reserves, part of efforts to strengthen the fight against illegal mining.
Lawmakers will also deliberate on a range of national issues, including key bills, motions, and policy statements from various ministries and government agencies.
