The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, is presiding over the final sitting and dissolution of the 8th Parliament of Ghana, marking the end of its four-year term.

The dissolution of Parliament takes place following the general elections, which were held in December 2024, and after the new Parliament is constituted.

The 8th Parliament of Ghana, which began in January 2021, will have its final sitting on January 6, 2025, bringing an end to its legislative activities.

The dissolution of Parliament is a constitutional process that sets the stage for the formation of a new Parliament. After the election of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the December 2024 general elections, the new Parliament will be sworn-in, and the President of Ghana will form a new government.

The final sitting typically includes the conclusion of debates, votes on pending matters, and speeches from key leaders, reflecting on the legislative work undertaken during the term and providing direction for the new Parliament.
