'The mighty minority has been the last line of defence for Ghanaians' - Bawumia hails NPP MPs

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia praised the Minority caucus in Parliament, describing them as the "last line of defence and glimmer of hope" for Ghanaians over the past 17 months since the party left office after the December 2024 general elections. He addressed the caucus at a pre-Parliament briefing. Dr. Bawumia commended the MPs for their resilience and commitment under opposition conditions, noting that the label "The Mighty Minority" was well deserved.

Dr. Bawumia stressed that the significance of the Minority went beyond their numbers in Parliament, arguing that they represent the voice of accountability and reassurance for citizens questioning government performance. He said, "In opposition, the Minority Caucus is not a spectator. You are the first line of accountability, the first line of policy scrutiny, and the first line of reassurance to citizens who are beginning to ask whether the promises made to them were carefully thought through or merely crafted for campaign applause and deception." He also pledged his personal and continued support to the Caucus, assuring MPs of his availability for engagement on strategy, policy and communication.

Dr. Bawumia condemned reported arrests and alleged intimidation of party activists and communicators. He urged Minority MPs to defend constitutional freedoms and act as safeguards for free expression for all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.
