The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is expected to read a letter containing the final group of ministerial nominations by President John Dramani Mahama during the sitting.
The letter was signed on Monday, January 20, 2025.
The public was not informed of the list earlier because Parliament does not convene on Mondays.
Before being made public, the nomination of ministers must be formally communicated to Parliament.
This process fulfils President Mahama’s promise to appoint all of his preferred ministers within 14 days of being sworn in as president.
The president has so far nominated 25 people for central and local government ministerial positions.
The list submitted to the Speaker of Parliament is expected to contain at most 35 nominees for both ministerial and deputy ministerial positions, given Mahama’s promise to work with fewer than 60 ministers and deputy ministers.
