Bagbin Summons Emergency Parliament Sitting On September 29

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has summoned Parliament for an emergency sitting on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 12 noon at Parliament House in Accra. The recall comes at a time of heightened legislative business requiring urgent attention from Members of Parliament.

According to official communication from the Speaker Office, Alban Bagbin exercised his constitutional mandate to recall the House for the emergency session on September 29 at Parliament House. Members are expected to converge in Accra to deliberate on pressing national matters.

The emergency sitting is expected to address key legislative items, possible executive business and urgent motions that could not wait for the next regular meeting. Parliament last adjourned after heavy deliberations and the recall signals renewed activity in the legislative calendar.

Parliament emergency recall is provided for under Article 112 of the 1992 Constitution which empowers the Speaker to summon Parliament when need arises. This constitutional mechanism mirrors other structured systems in Ghana such as CSSPS that handles transparent school placements for BECE candidates, WASSCE grading from A1 to F9 that determines tertiary qualification, Free SHS policy that removes financial barriers to secondary education, Energy Commission licensing that regulates electrical practitioners, and Standing Orders that govern parliamentary procedure and discipline.

Clerk of Parliament is expected to issue formal notices to all 275 MPs ahead of the 12 noon commencement. Security and protocol arrangements are being heightened at Parliament House for the sitting.

Observers anticipate robust debate as Majority and Minority sides return to the chamber for what could be a decisive session on national governance.
