Parliament will reconvene on Monday, December 16, 2024, to wrap up the seventh meeting of the fourth session of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.
The sitting is scheduled to commence at 10 am.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
The statement however noted that, the place for the meeting will be appointed in due course.
The eighth Parliament in the past two months has been in the news following a legal dispute over Speaker Alban Bagbin’s decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
This declaration cited alleged constitutional violations by certain MPs, causing widespread debate and the indefinite adjournment of the House.
The Supreme Court intervened and in a final ruling on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, ruled that the declaration was unconstitutional.
Following the ruling of the Apex Court, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin petitioned the Speaker, requesting a recall which was rejected.
Mr Afenyo-Markin asked for Parliament to be reconvened to enable them to address critical state matters and conduct government business.
However, in his response, the Speaker stated that he could only recall the House after the 7th December election.
