GUYANA’S 13th Parliament was convened on Monday, marking the first sitting since the country went to the polls on September 1, 2025, with several fresh faces and returning politicians taking the oath as Members of Parliament.
The first sitting was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre on Monday, following a proclamation made by President Dr. Irfaan Ali almost two weeks ago.
In accordance with Article 69 (1) of the Constitution of Guyana, each parliamentary session must be convened at a time and place appointed by the President.
This sitting comes just months after the President dissolved the Twelfth Parliament in preparation for the national polls.
Following the September 1, 2025 election, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) retained government with 36 seats, while We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) secured 16 seats, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) obtained 12 seats, and the Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) gained one seat.
Against this backdrop, all 65 members were administered the oath to serve as Members of Parliament in the 13th Parliament.
