- Ghana’s parliament adjourned sine die, without deliberating over the president’s choices for ministers. The National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for South Dayi filed an interlocutory injunction petition at the Supreme Court to restrict him, according to Speaker of the House Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, who said that this prevented them from considering the nominations.
- The constraint was intended to prevent Bagbin from moving on with the screening and acceptance of the names of individuals that the President provided until the requirements of the Constitution were met.
