Members of Parliament on the Minority side are not in the chamber as President Nana Akufo-Addo readies to provide a comprehensive briefing on the current state of affairs in the country today.
The chairs that are occupied by the NDC MPs are empty, per information picked up by our reporter in Parliament.
President Akufo-Addo has arrived in Parliament but is yet to make his way to the chamber.
This annual address, mandated by Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, serves as a means for the President to provide an overview of the nation’s current state at the beginning of each session of Parliament.
Already, former President John Dramani Mahama and former Speaker of Parliament, Aaron Mike Oquaye, have arrived at the Parliament House in Accra for the highly anticipated event.
Also in attendance are Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, wife of former President, Jerry John Rawlings, and Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
