Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh has launched a blistering attack on the Mahama-led NDC government, accusing the administration of failing Ghanaians barely months after returning to power.
Speaking at the opening of the Minority Caucus Workshop at the Accra City Hotel on Monday, the outspoken NPP MP declared that the ruling government had “failed faster than expected.”
‘Worsening hardship, dumsor and cocoa cuts’
Annoh-Dompreh cited worsening economic hardship, erratic power supply, cocoa price reductions, and rising public dissatisfaction as evidence of poor governance.
He said many Ghanaians who voted for the NDC, expecting economic relief, are now disappointed by the realities confronting them. Businesses are struggling under renewed “dumsor,” while market women, teachers, nurses, and cocoa farmers face increasing hardship, he claimed.
The recent reduction in cocoa producer prices has worsened conditions for farmers already battling rising production costs and unstable incomes, he argued.
“The NPP Minority will continue to speak strongly on issues affecting ordinary citizens and will not allow government to deceive Ghanaians with propaganda,” he told party faithful.
‘Mighty Minority’ claims voice of accountability
Addressing Minority MPs and party members, Annoh-Dompreh said the NPP’s parliamentary wing had repositioned itself as the true voice of accountability and national interest despite losing the 2024 election.
He described the caucus as the “Mighty Minority,” insisting that although it sits on the opposition benches, it continues to dominate national conversations and expose what he called the Mahama administration’s failures and inconsistencies.
The MP also accused the government of failing to manage the economy responsibly despite campaign promises, and criticized its handling of the energy sector. He warned that the re-emergence of persistent power outages shows the NDC lacks a sustainable strategy to keep the lights on.
Training MPs for a 2028 comeback
As part of the workshop, Annoh-Dompreh revealed that the caucus has intensified training and mentorship for first-time MPs to improve parliamentary performance and policy engagement. Experienced lawmakers have been paired with younger MPs to sharpen debates and strengthen committee work.
He said the Minority intends to remain “aggressive, disciplined and united” in holding government accountable both inside and outside Parliament.
Despite the NPP’s defeat, Annoh-Dompreh expressed confidence that the party remains well-positioned for a political comeback in 2028. He urged members not to lose hope, saying growing frustration among Ghanaians would eventually strengthen support for the opposition.
The workshop brought together MPs and strategists to discuss tactics, national issues, and preparations for the next sitting of Parliament as the NPP seeks to rebuild momentum ahead of the next general elections.
