Update Ghana holidays: add 2026 special public holidays by uttam12331 · Pull Request #3703 · vacanza/holidays

uttam12331 · 2026-07-17T04:53:35Z

Proposed change

Under Section 2 of Ghana's Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601), when a statutory holiday falls on a weekday the President may declare the following Friday a public holiday. For 2026, two such Executive Instruments were issued:

Constitution Day (statutory Wed 7 Jan) → public holiday on Fri 9 January 2026
Republic Day (statutory Wed 1 Jul) → public holiday on Fri 3 July 2026

Adds both via a new GhanaStaticHolidays class.

Source

Ghana Ministry of the Interior — Declaration of Friday, 9th January 2026 as a Public Holiday and Declaration of Friday, 3rd July 2026 as a Public Holiday (mint.gov.gh); Graphic Online / GNA.

Checklist

2026-01-09 = "Constitution Day", 2026-07-03 = "Republic Day"; absent other years.
tests/countries/test_ghana.py passes (23 passed); ruff clean.
Commit signed off (DCO).

Note: I kept the labels as plain "Constitution Day" / "Republic Day"; happy to switch to the "(observed)" convention if you'd prefer.

Under Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601), the President moved two 2026 weekday holidays to Friday by Executive Instrument: Constitution Day to Fri 9 January and Republic Day to Fri 3 July. Add them via a new GhanaStaticHolidays class. Signed-off-by: uttam12331 <uttam12331@users.noreply.github.com>

An official source refers to these holidays simply as "Public Holiday".

BTW, we missed that Republic Day has been moved from Commemorative Days to Statutory Public Holidays. This also needs to be updated (either now or later).
