LIVESTREAMED: Committee composition, formation take centre stage as 9th Parliament sits

Following their swearing-in and subsequent presidential inauguration, Members of the 9th Parliament of Ghana will, as part of business for today, Wednesday, January 8, 2025, determine the formation and composition of membership for committees, delegations, groups, and associations to manage the activities of the House.

As listed in the Order Paper for the day, leaders of the Majority and Minority caucuses will make statements before the deliberation on the committees commences.

Various motions regarding the selection and composition of the committees will substantially be moved.

The NDC gained an overwhelming majority of seats in the 2024 parliamentary election, securing 183 seats as against the 88 currently held by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Independent members hold four other seats, while a single seat, the Ablekuma North seat, remains outstanding due to an ongoing dispute between the two leading political parties.
