The National Assembly has once more delayed the resumption of plenary to enable its committees complete work on the 2026 budget defence sessions with Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The decision was conveyed in a circular dated February 23, 2026, and signed by the Acting Clerk to the House, Ibrahim Sidi. The notice was made public in the early hours of Tuesday.

According to the three-paragraph circular, the leadership of both chambers resolved to shift plenary to allow committees conclude the largely unfinished budget defence process.

Plenary, which was earlier scheduled to resume on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, will now reconvene on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

The leadership expressed regret over any inconvenience the adjustment may cause and encouraged lawmakers to use the extended break to deepen deliberations and strengthen contributions to the ongoing budget process.
