The Minority Caucus in Parliament recently gathered in Accra for a strategic workshop designed to sharpen their parliamentary approach and enhance coordination as they gear up for the next legislative session.
Addressing the assembled MPs, Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh delivered a candid assessment of the political landscape, asserting that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) had lost public confidence far more rapidly than many anticipated. He stressed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) must seize this moment to position itself assertively for victory in the 2028 elections.
Annoh-Dompreh reminded his colleagues that their primary responsibility remains holding the government accountable through rigorous scrutiny and by challenging questionable decisions. He encouraged MPs to expose what he described as hidden wrongdoings within the current administration and to intensify pressure on the government whenever shortcomings emerge.
“We cannot sit back while the cocoa farmer is wailing, teachers are crying, nurses are wailing, public servants are crying, market women are crying, this is the reflection of the scam of the NDC government,” he declared, urging MPs to fully utilize parliamentary procedures to bring national issues to the forefront.
The workshop’s purpose, Annoh-Dompreh explained, was to refine the caucus’s communication strategy, align its parliamentary activities, and bolster its responsiveness to the pressing needs of Ghanaians. He pointed out that many citizens were increasingly turning to the NPP as a credible alternative, and that the party needed to present a united and disciplined front to meet those expectations.
He also cautioned against complacency and internal divisions, warning that these could undermine the NPP’s chances in the crucial 2028 elections. “The NPP is a party of development, and its culture and tradition have proven to be effective and capable in turning around the fortunes of our country. Victory is in our hands!” he proclaimed, rallying his colleagues for the challenges ahead.
The workshop brought together Minority MPs to deliberate on legislative priorities, constituency engagement, and strategies to strengthen parliamentary oversight of the executive.
Participants left with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to apply lessons learned both in Parliament and in their constituencies as the opposition intensifies preparations for the next general elections.
