Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh

The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has stated that the Minority in Parliament will ensure that President John Dramani Mahama fulfils the promises he made to Ghanaians ahead of the 2024 general election.

According to him, despite the Minority's relatively small numbers in Parliament, they remain a "mighty Minority" and will not sit back and allow ordinary Ghanaians to be shortchanged by the government.

He said the caucus would remain vigilant and hold the government accountable to its campaign promises.

Speaking during a courtesy call at the Ankwane Dobrowo Palace on August 12, 2026, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP assured the traditional leaders that he would continue to support the community and would never turn his back on them.

Annoh-Dompreh mentioned some of the promises he claimed the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) made to Ghanaians but had failed to fulfil.

He cited challenges within the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) programme, particularly regarding student feeding.

"The NDC promised to revamp Free SHS, but today, if you go to our schools and look at the feeding situation, there are still challenges. When students are served beans, there is no gari. If gari is added, there is no oil," he said.

Expressing concerns about the government's performance, he stated that the Minority would continue to pressure the administration to deliver on its commitments.

"When we raise these concerns, they do not listen. Nana, we are small in numbers in Parliament; we are only 87, but we are a mighty Minority. They are many, but they have realised that they cannot take us for granted. We will make sure we force President John Dramani Mahama to do all the things the NDC promised. They said they would reduce the prices of goods. Have they done it?" he questioned.
