The Appointment Committee of Parliament has rescheduled the vetting of President John Dramani Mahama’s ministerial nominees to Thursday, August 27, 2026.
The Committee was originally scheduled to vet the nominees on Tuesday, August 25, as part of the process for considering recent presidential nominations.
Adom News’ parliamentary correspondent, Ohene Amponsah, confirmed the development, although the reason is not immediately known.
The change in schedule means the committee will now sit on Thursday to scrutinise the nominees and assess their qualifications, experience, and suitability for their respective portfolios.
The nominees include Majority Leader and Chairman of Parliament’s Business Committee, Mahama Ayariga, who has been nominated as Minister-designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs.
Also expected to appear before the committee is Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the nominee for Minister-designate for Environment, Science and Technology.
The vetting forms part of Parliament’s constitutional process for considering presidential nominations before they are presented to the full House for approval.
The Appointments Committee is expected to submit its reports to Parliament after the exercise, paving the way for consideration and approval by the House.
