President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will today, Tuesday, January 5, 2021, deliver his final state of the nation address (SONA) to Parliament as he ends his first term in office.
This is in accordance with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution which states 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”.
The address by the President will give an overview of his tenure in office in the last four years.
This will be the fourth time President Akufo-Addo will be doing this since he assumed office in 2017.
The presentation is also ahead of the President’s inauguration and swearing-in for his next four-year administration as well as the dissolution of the current seventh Parliament.
It is however unclear if the Minority side of Parliament will sit for the address due to their disagreements with the December 7, 2020, general elections.
The Minority boycotted the session last year.
