The Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has declined a request made to him by the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin to recall the House.

The speaker said that the House would resume sitting after the elections on December 7 to complete all essential matters before a seamless transition to the 9th Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana.

The House was adjourned indefinitely on November 7, when Speaker Bagbin suspended proceedings due to the absence of a prepared agenda from the Business Committee.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, lawmaker for Effutu, later urged Speaker Bagbin to exercise his constitutional mandate under Standing Orders 57(3) and 58(4) to reconvene Parliament to address the outstanding business of the House.
