The Acting Spokesperson of the Office of the President, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has refuted claims of releasing a purported third batch of ministerial nominees.

In a post shared on X, he dismissed the list as fake and urged the public to disregard it.

"Folks, disregard any list attributed to me that I have not posted here. It is fake," he stated.

The false list included notable figures from National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament, such as Muntaka Mubarak, Member of Parliament of Asawase, alleged to be nominated as Minister of Transport; and Sam Nartey George, the Member of Parliament of Ningo Prampram, reportedly listed as Minister-Designate of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama continues to assemble his team, in line with his promise to appoint 60 ministers.

On Tuesday, January 16, 2025, the president submitted a second batch of nominees for various sectoral and regional ministerial portfolios to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.

This latest development is part of John Dramani Mahama's efforts to fulfill his pledge to nominate a complete Cabinet within the first 14 days of his administration for parliamentary approval.
