The Appointments 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 parliamentary process for considering recent presidential nominations.
Adom News’ parliamentary correspondent, Ohene Amponsah, confirmed the change in schedule, although the reason for the postponement has not immediately been disclosed.
The Committee will now sit on Thursday to scrutinise the nominees, assess their qualifications and experience, and determine their suitability for the respective portfolios.
Among those expected to appear before the Committee is Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga, who has been nominated as Minister-designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.
Also scheduled for vetting is Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the nominee for Minister-designate for Environment, Science and Technology.
The vetting forms part of the constitutional process through which Parliament considers presidential nominations before they are presented to the full House for approval.
Following the exercise, the Appointments Committee is expected to prepare and submit its reports to Parliament for consideration.
The nominees will subsequently require approval by the House before they can formally assume their respective ministerial portfolios.
