President John Dramani Mahama will on Friday, February 27, 2026, appear before Parliament to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) in accordance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution.
Mr Mahama Ayariga, the Majority Leader and Leader of Government Business, announced this during Friday’s Parliamentary sitting, while presenting the Business Statement to the House.
He indicated that Members of Parliament were expected to be seated by 9:15 a.m. as the President would be formally welcomed to the Chamber at 10:00 a.m.
The Address, which is a constitutional requirement, provides the President with the opportunity to outline government’s policy direction, review national progress, and highlight key challenges confronting the country.
The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, is expected to preside over the sitting, which would bring together Members of Parliament, government officials, the diplomatic corps, and other invited dignitaries.
The SONA remains one of the most significant events on Ghana’s political calendar, setting the tone for national discourse and guiding legislative priorities for the year.
