The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has announced major changes to Ghana's public holiday calendar.

Through the Interior Ministry, the government has laid before Parliament the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

The proposed legislation seeks to establish July 1 as a new public holiday and restore the controversial Founder's Day observance to September 21.

The Interior Minister made this announcement on the floor of Parliament earlier today.
