As the year comes to a close, Ghana’s Parliament is gearing up for a significant transition. On January 3, 2025, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will present the Message on the State of the Nation, marking the beginning of the end of the 8th Parliament. The 8th Parliament will officially dissolve on January 6, 2025, paving the way for the inauguration of the 9th Parliament.
The inauguration ceremony will take place on January 6, 2025, at 11:00 pm, where the Speaker-elect and members-elect will be sworn in at midnight. To ensure a smooth transition, Parliament has outlined guidelines for media coverage, including accreditation requirements, designated areas for interviews and live broadcasts, and security protocols.
As the country prepares for this significant transition, Parliament values the cooperation it has with the media and hopes to deepen this collaboration in the 9th Parliament. With these guidelines in place, the media can provide comprehensive coverage of these historic events, keeping the nation informed and engaged.
