Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has warned that government business in Parliament will suffer until concerns surrounding the Kpandai parliamentary seat are addressed.
Speaking on the floor of the House on Tuesday, December 9, Mr Annoh-Dompreh said the Minority caucus would not cooperate with the Majority in conducting government business until the issue is resolved.
“Until the Kpandai seat issue is resolved, government business will suffer. I put it to you. 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.
“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.
His comments followed hooting from Majority Members of Parliament, but Mr Annoh-Dompreh insisted that Minority MPs would remain in the House.
The Minority’s stance stems from a protest over a letter dated December 4, 2025, written by the Clerk of Parliament to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, 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.
Minority MPs, dressed in black, demonstrated their opposition by banging tables, chanting patriotic songs, and hooting at the Clerk of Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, as he attempted to restore order.
