Four independent Members of Parliament in Ghana have pledged their support to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Majority Caucus, signaling a significant shift in parliamentary dynamics.
Majority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson announced this on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, January 8th. He revealed that Kwame Asare Obeng (A Plus), the MP for Gomoa Central, had already formalized his decision in writing, while the remaining three independent MPs have communicated their intentions verbally.
“Mr. Speaker, while the MP for Gomoa Central has officially written to us, the others are expected to formalize their stance soon,” Dr. Forson stated.
The other independent MPs—Ohene Kwame Frimpong (Asante Akim North), Nandaya Yaw Stanley (Wulensi), and Worlasi Kpeli (Afram Plains North)—have been instructed to submit formal letters to the Majority Caucus and the Speaker of Parliament to confirm their alignment.
This collaboration is expected to bolster the NDC’s parliamentary majority, providing the party with a stronger position to pass legislation and advance its policy agenda effectively.
