Members of Parliament (MPs) are expected to reconvene today, Tuesday, May 27, to continue their official legislative work following a recess for Easter celebrations.

This will be the Second Meeting of the First Session of the 9th Parliament. The legislators will deliberate on pressing national issues and committee engagements.

Parliament is anticipated to return to full parliamentary business, including legislative debates.

The forthcoming session will feature discussions regarding the Minister for Finance's presentation in August for the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review to the House.

Before the break, several key legislative activities were undertaken by the House.

Notably, it passed the 2025 Appropriation Act (Act 1126), allocating funds for government operations, and debated the 2024 Mid-Year Fiscal Policy Review.

Parliament also approved significant appointments, including ministerial nominees.

Speaking to Citi News, Second Deputy Majority Whip Richard Acheampong noted, “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."

The Minority Caucus, on the other hand, met to reflect on its performance and also plans for the new parliamentary session.

During the meeting, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin noted that the opposition group will watch the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party closely to ensure good governance.

He pledged that the opposition party has worked on its flaws and is prepared to take the battle come 2028.

“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.
