Minority Chief Whip Warns Government Business Will Stall Over Kpandai Seat Dispute

Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has issued a stern warning that government business in Parliament will stall until concerns over the Kpandai parliamentary seat are resolved.

Addressing the House on Tuesday, December 9, Annoh-Dompreh declared that the Minority caucus would refuse to cooperate with the Majority in conducting government business until the contentious issue is settled.

“Until the Kpandai seat issue is resolved, government business will suffer. I put it to you. Go and marshal your numbers and come do your business. We are not obstructing government business; we believe that governance is a continuation, and we must continue with government business. But to conspire and twist our hands will not work. We will not cooperate with you until the Kpandai seat issue is resolved. Government business is going to suffer, and you are going to suffer,” he cautioned.

His remarks followed a chorus of hooting from the Majority side, but Annoh-Dompreh remained resolute, insisting that Minority MPs would continue to be present in Parliament.

The Minority’s defiant stance stems from their protest over a letter dated December 4, 2025, written by the Clerk of Parliament to the Electoral Commission Chair, Jean Mensa, officially declaring the Kpandai seat vacant. Annoh-Dompreh described the action as “out of place” and “unfortunate,” arguing that it violated the rule of law and called for its immediate withdrawal.

Minority MPs, dressed in black, demonstrated their disapproval by banging tables, chanting patriotic songs, and hooting at Clerk of Parliament Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, as he attempted to restore order in the chamber.
