Let’s demonstrate to the Ghanaian people that NPP remains the best vehicle for national transformation — Annoh-Dompreh rallies NPP
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri and the minority Chief Whip in the 9th Parliament of Ghana, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has charged the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stay united and work hard as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
In a statement released on his Facebook page, the MP described the 2025 NPP National Congress held in Accra as a key moment in the party’s effort to strengthen its internal democracy and renew its structures.
He said the congress was an important platform for party members from all parts of the country to come together in unity and discuss ideas for the future of the party.
According to him, delegates gathered in a spirit of patriotism and reaffirmed their commitment to the NPP’s ideals and values.
Mr.Annoh-Dompreh highlighted that several proposals were presented at the congress to amend the party’s constitution.
These proposals, he explained, were meant to make the party more transparent, inclusive, and better prepared for modern political challenges.
According to him, some of the proposed changes included adjusting the party’s regional executive election calendar to match national campaign periods, strengthening the roles of TESCON and diaspora branches, improving coordination between the party’s parliamentary caucus and national leadership, and increasing youth and women’s participation at all leadership levels.
“These forward-looking proposals reflect a party that is not only preparing to win elections but is also committed to internal reform and democratic accountability,” the MP noted.
He urged all party members and supporters to remain focused, engage one another in a positive way, and show Ghanaians that the NPP remains the best option for leading the country toward development.
“As we move toward the 2028 general elections, let us continue to work together and demonstrate to the Ghanaian people that the NPP remains the best vehicle for national transformation,” he added.

The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
