Parliament will come together on Thursday, November 20, 2025, for a special sitting to receive President William Ruto’s annual address.
The session is scheduled to start at 2.30 p.m. in the National Assembly Chamber at the Main Parliament Building in Nairobi, marking a key moment for government communication with lawmakers and the public.
The annual address is required under Article 132(1)(b) of the Constitution, which obliges the President to speak to Parliament at least once every year. President Ruto formally requested the special sitting, prompting the Speakers of both Houses to issue notifications to Members of Parliament and the general public.
The official notice reads: “Members of Parliament and the general public are hereby notified that a Special Sitting of Parliament shall be held in the National Assembly Chamber, Main Parliament Building, Nairobi, on Thursday, 20th November, 2025 at 2.30 p.m.”
The sitting will follow the guidelines in Standing Order 22(2) of the National Assembly and Standing Order 25(2) of the Senate, ensuring that lawmakers are fully informed about the timing and location of any special parliamentary session called under the Constitution.
The address will allow the President to present the government’s priorities, outline upcoming policy directions, and engage directly with both legislators and citizens.
