He explained that the adjustment became necessary to enable committees to complete their assignments on the budget, a critical phase in the legislative process.
According to him, plenary will now reconvene in the chamber on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
“Distinguished Senators are kindly requested to take note of the new resumption date and time. The Leadership regrets any inconvenience the postponement may have caused,” Odo added.
The development signals the upper chamber’s continued focus on finalising deliberations on the budget before resuming full legislative proceedings.
