Minority Chief Whip Mr 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 May 19, 2026 ahead of resumption of parliamentary duties on Thursday, Mr Annoh-Dompreh who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, declared that the governing NDC had “failed faster than expected.”
He cited worsening economic hardship, erratic power supply, cocoa price reductions and rising public dissatisfaction as evidence of poor governance.
Addressing Minority Members of Parliament and party faithful, Mr Annoh-Dompreh said the New Patriotic Party’s Minority Caucus had become stronger and more focused despite the party’s defeat in the 2024 general election.
According to him, the NPP’s parliamentary wing has repositioned itself as the true voice of accountability and national interest.
He described the Minority as the “Mighty Minority,” insisting that although the caucus occupies the opposition benches, it continues to dominate national conversations and expose what he called the failures and inconsistencies of the Mahama administration.
The Nsawam-Adoagyiri legislator argued that many Ghanaians who voted for the NDC expecting economic relief are now disappointed by the realities confronting them.
He claimed businesses are struggling under renewed “dumsor,” while market women, teachers, nurses and cocoa farmers are battling increasing hardship.
According to him, the recent reduction in cocoa producer prices has worsened conditions for farmers who already face rising production costs and unstable incomes.
He stressed that the NPP Minority would continue to speak strongly on issues affecting ordinary citizens and would not allow government to “deceive Ghanaians with propaganda.”
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh also accused the government of failing to manage the economy responsibly despite promises made during the election campaign.
He criticised the handling of the energy sector and argued that the re-emergence of persistent power outages shows that the NDC administration lacks a sustainable strategy to maintain stability in the sector.
He further alleged that the government’s approach to governance has created uncertainty across several institutions, warning that the country cannot afford another period of economic instability similar to previous years of severe power crises.
As part of the workshop, the Minority Chief Whip revealed that the caucus has intensified internal training and mentorship programmes for first-time MPs to improve parliamentary performance and policy engagement.
He explained that experienced lawmakers have been paired with younger MPs to sharpen debates and strengthen committee work in Parliament.
According to him, the Minority intends to remain aggressive, disciplined and united in holding government accountable both inside and outside the House.
Despite the NPP’s loss in the last election, Mr Annoh-Dompreh expressed confidence that the party remains well-positioned for a political comeback in 2028.
He encouraged party members not to lose hope, insisting that the growing frustration among Ghanaians would eventually strengthen support for the opposition.
He called on Minority MPs to stay connected to their constituents and continue exposing governance failures affecting the country.
The Minority Caucus workshop brought together MPs and party strategists to discuss parliamentary tactics, national issues and preparations for the next sitting of Parliament as the opposition NPP seeks to rebuild momentum ahead of the next general elections.
