The Minority Chief Whip and MP for Nsawam Adoagyire, Hon. Frank Annor Dompreh, has said that the NPP Minority Caucus has emerged more agile and battle-ready after a difficult period following the 2024 elections, and is now focused on holding government to account ahead of 2028.

Addressing colleagues ahead of Parliament’s resumption this week, Hon. Dompreh praised the caucus for turning “momentary bleakness” into renewed energy and effectiveness despite being in the minority.

As Western Churchill espoused in his first speech to the British House of Commons, ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat,’” he said. “Now I can confidently say that we have bounced back stronger, more agile, well-informed, and indeed ready to take on 2028 with tactics and strategies that would marvel our counterparts.

Hon. Dompreh said the caucus had distinguished itself as a “mighty minority” through consistent engagement on the floor and efforts to explain issues affecting Ghanaians to the public.

With a small minority, we have managed to achieve a lot, and we need to be proud of that,” he said. “We need to sustain this momentum and the pressure on government with one voice and one heart.”

He noted that over the past 16 months since the inauguration of the 9th Parliament, the Minority had done a commendable job scrutinizing the executive and amplifying the will of Ghanaians demanding proper governance.

When the majority and their government took office with a host of promises, we took a step back and observed with eagle eyes. The moment the first promise was broken, we took to work,” he said.

Hon. Dompreh also highlighted internal strategies to strengthen the caucus, including a mentorship roster pairing first-time MPs with experienced members to sharpen debate skills, and assigning new MPs to leadership roles on committees.

We are happy to say that this strategy has positively impacted the ability of members to address issues in accordance with the practices and procedures of our evolving Parliament,” he said.

Acknowledging the personal attacks some MPs have faced, he urged the caucus to remain united and resilient.

We have truly soldiered on,” he said, adding that the group must continue working together to serve both Parliament and their constituencies effectively.

The Minority resumes sitting this week as Parliament reconvenes for the next session.
