Accra, Dec. 10, GNA — The New Patriotic Party Minority Caucus in Parliament has warned that government business will be severely impacted until concerns surrounding the Kpandai parliamentary seat are addressed.
Mr Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip, stated on the Floor of Parliament on Tuesday.
He said, “Mr Speaker, until the Kpandai seat issue is resolved, government business will suffer. I put it to you [referring to the Majority Chief Whip]. Go and marshal your numbers and come do your business. We are not obstructing government business; we believe that governance is a continuation, and we must continue with government business.”
However, Mr Annoh-Dompreh emphasized that the Minority Caucus will not cooperate with the Majority until the issue is resolved, saying, “But to conspire and twist our hands will not work. We will not cooperate with you until the Kpandai seat issue is resolved. Government business is going to suffer, and you are going to suffer,” he warned.
The controversy stems from a letter dated December 4, 2025, written by Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the Clerk to Parliament, to Madam Jean Mensah, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), formally declaring the Kpandai seat vacant.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh described the move as “out of place” and “unfortunate,” arguing that it violated the rule of law and called for its immediate withdrawal.
