Parliament will reconvene on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, to commence the Second Session of the Ninth Parliament of the Fourth Republic, officially bringing to an end the Christmas recess that closed the First Session in December last year.
Ahead of the reopening, the Majority Leader, who also doubles as Leader of Government Business, has been holding meetings with Ministers of State to review outstanding matters and fine-tune the government’s legislative agenda for the months ahead.
The upcoming session is expected to be a busy one, with several bills, policy statements and questions to sector ministers scheduled for consideration when the House resumes sitting.
Among the key issues likely to dominate proceedings are matters related to illegal mining activities and the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, popularly referred to as the Anti-LGBT Bill, which is expected to trigger renewed and intense debate on the floor of Parliament.
Parliamentary sources say the session will focus on advancing critical reforms while strengthening oversight on pressing national issues as Members return to full legislative business.
