“Mighty Minority” Ready for 2028, Says Chief Whip Annoh-Dompreh at Caucus Workshop
The Minority Caucus in Parliament says it has regrouped and is ready to intensify pressure on government ahead of the 2028 elections, after rebuilding from its 2024 electoral setback.
Speaking at the Minority Caucus Workshop in Accra on Sunday, Chief Whip Hon. Frank Annoh-Dompreh told MPs the caucus had moved “from momentary bleakness to a posture of liveliness” in just 16 months since the inauguration of the 9th Parliament.
“With a ‘small’ Minority, we have managed to achieve a lot,” Annoh-Dompreh 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 will marvel our counterparts.”
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP described the caucus as the “Mighty Minority,” urging members to sustain momentum and speak with “one voice, and one heart” in holding the NDC government accountable.
Holding government to account
Annoh-Dompreh said the caucus had made effective use of mentorship rosters for first-time MPs, committee assignments, and coordinated press statements to shape public debate. He said the approach had helped the caucus anticipate issues and “signal the public before the Members of the Majority and their party officials try to mislead Ghanaians.”
He cited the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 Financial Statement, the return of power outages, and the recent cocoa producer-price reduction as examples of government failure.
“The return of the economy crippling ‘dumsor’ may remind them that problems are not solved by promises, but by deliberate efforts to improve a system,” he said. On cocoa, he called the price cut “the biggest deceit devised by the NDC government” and urged swift cushioning for farmers.
“A government that is overly concerned about macroeconomic indicators, to the detriment of large sections of its citizens, or even the marginalised groups, is not fit to lead us,” he added.
Call to intensify pressure
The Chief Whip said the NDC government had become “unpopular even faster than we anticipated,” and challenged the caucus to “intensify the pressure of accountability, and strike whenever they are exposed.”
“Millions of Ghanaians deserve to know the true nature of their government in order to make the right decision of leadership,” he said.
He acknowledged personal attacks and challenges faced by MPs over the past 16 months, including the loss of a colleague MP last year, but said the caucus had “soldiered on.”
Looking ahead
Annoh-Dompreh closed by urging members to believe in themselves and their mission, saying the “hope of a prosperous Ghana is still etched in the hearts of our people.”
“The task is certainly not beyond us. Let us fight to once again prove our superior management of the affairs of the country,” he said.
The workshop was held at the Accra City Hotel ahead of Parliament’s resumption this week.
