The Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly is set to hold a sitting on Tuesday, but Speaker Jemma Nunu Kumba was not copied on the official agenda, signaling deepening uncertainty over the leadership of the August House.

The agenda, dated 6 April 2026, seen by Eye Radio,  and issued by the Office of the Clerk, outlines the order of business for the session but omits any reference to the Speaker’s office.

Instead, it was copied to the Office of an Acting Speaker, whose name has not been mentioned, nor does the agenda specify the sitting’s full program.

The document lists routine proceedings, including prayers, communication from the chair, administration of oath, and announcements to the assembly.

This development comes days after members of the assembly voted to remove Nunu Kumba from her position, a decision her office has rejected, maintaining that she remains the legitimate Speaker.
