Published on

The Minority Caucus in Ghana’s Parliament has strongly condemned the suspension of three New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament by Speaker Alban S.K. Bagbin, calling the move an overreach of parliamentary authority and an example of selective justice.

The MPs suspended are Frank Annoh-Dompreh (Nsawam-Adoagyiri), Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli (Gushegu), and Jerry Ahmed Shaib (Weija-Gbawe), alongside Majority Chief Whip Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor. The suspensions followed a violent altercation during a sitting of Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Thursday evening.

In a statement released on 31 January 2025, the Minority Caucus accused the Speaker of using the ruling to intimidate lawmakers and suppress differing opinions within the legislative body.

The Minority further attributed the incident to growing frustration over procedural fairness, alleging that the Majority side has been pushing decisions through unilaterally without efforts to build consensus.
