Members of the Minority in Parliament staged a dramatic walkout on Thursday, July 24, moments before the Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson’s presentation of the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review.
The action was in protest of the violence that marred the recent parliamentary rerun in Ablekuma North.
Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, stated that the caucus could not in good conscience participate in the budget proceedings.
The Majority caucus booed and chanted ‘away, away, away’ as the NPP MPs filed out of the chamber in anger and frustration.
Following the boycott, the Minority is set to present a petition to various key stakeholders, including President John Dramani Mahama, the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO), and other civil society organizations.
