President John Mahama to deliver first State of the Nation Address on 27 February

President John Dramani Mahama is expected to give his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) to Parliament on Thursday, 27 February 2025.

Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, which requires the President to present an evaluation of Ghana’s economic situation and lay out the current administration’s plan for the country’s development, is in compliance with the address.

Presenting the business statement for the ensuing week, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, urged members of the house to be guided by the laid-down protocols for the occasion.

“His Excellency the President, President John Ramani Mahama, will be in this house on Thursday 27th of February 2025 in accordance with Article 67 of the Constitution to deliver the State of the Nation Address. Let me just, with your indulgence, read Article 67 and it says that the President shall, at the beginning of each session of Parliament and before a dissolution of Parliament, deliver to Parliament a message on the State of the Nation.”

“This is a constitutional injunction. The president would definitely be here to deliver the State of the Nation Address and members are expected to be seated latest 9 15 a.m.”

According to Mhama Ayariga, once the President enters the chamber, national security will not allow any member access into the chamber.

“So note that once the National Security takes over, no member will be allowed access into the chamber. So after 9:15, it will be difficult to have access to the chamber.”
