The Minority in Parliament has expressed its backing and revealed a choice to participate in the nationwide demonstration by several political parties, which they claim is a move to protect Ghana’s democracy.
The protest, set for Monday, May 5 2025, is being organised by a coalition of opposition and independent political entities, comprising the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), and the People’s National Party (PNP).
The Minority caucus, in a statement on April 30, 2025, said the protest is “not just a political action, but a constitutional imperative.”
They contended that the protest is to draw the attention of the nation and the international community to the “increasing threats to judicial independence, constitutional order, and democratic governance in Ghana.”
The Minority’s decision to join the protest is further fueled by the recent termination of the appointment of public servants, which the caucus says is “is a blow to national stability, professional integrity, and economic justice,” citing the negative effect of such a decision on the youth.
The declaration endorsed by Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, emphasised that the decision to initiate the protest is also based on concerning allegations regarding plans to oust the Electoral Commission Chairperson and her deputies.
The Minority warned that “consequently, these actions, if allowed to proceed, risk plunging Ghana into a crisis of legitimacy.”
In their closing remarks, the Minority Caucus reiterated its support for all Ghanaians dedicated to safeguarding the nation’s democratic principles.
“This is not about partisanship. This is about principle. It is about preserving the rule of law, ensuring the independence of the judiciary, and protecting the constitutional fabric of our beloved nation,” they emphasized.
The statement ends with a strong call to action: “We cannot afford to ignore the repetition of these dangerous patterns. The time to act is now.”
