Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has claimed that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) is losing public support faster than anticipated.
He cited what he said was growing dissatisfaction over economic conditions and policy decisions.
Speaking at a Minority Caucus strategy workshop on Tuesday, he said the administration’s early performance in office has fallen short of public expectations, leading to what he described as rapid unpopularity across different segments of the population.

According to him, the government’s handling of key economic issues, including agriculture, public sector welfare, and financial governance, has contributed to rising public frustration.
He argued that the pace at which public confidence is declining should serve as a warning to the administration to reassess its policy direction and governance approach.
Annoh-Dompreh also accused the government of failing to adequately address the concerns of vulnerable groups, including farmers, market women, teachers, and public servants.
He said recent policy debates, particularly around cocoa producer price cut and fiscal management, reflect what he described as poor sensitivity to the economic struggles of ordinary citizens.
The Minority Whip maintained that the opposition caucus in Parliament will continue to intensify scrutiny of government actions, insisting that accountability must remain a central pillar of parliamentary democracy.
He urged members of the Minority to remain united and consistent in their messaging as they engage the public on national policy issues.
He stressed the importance of internal cohesion within the opposition, noting that political organisation and sustained engagement will be critical ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Minority Caucus in Parliament to remain confident and united as they work to return to power in the 2028 general elections.
According to the Whip, the NPP has made significant progress in rebuilding after the 2024 general election defeat.
He stressed that the party had moved from a period of momentary bleakness to renewed vitality, adding that the Minority Caucus has become stronger, more agile, and better informed.
He noted that despite having fewer numbers in Parliament, the Caucus has effectively scrutinised government policies and held the Executive accountable.
Mr. Annoh-Dompreh expressed optimism that the NPP can return to government if members remain disciplined and committed.
“Victory is in our hands, and we cannot afford to let 2028 slip by,” he declared, urging party leaders, MPs, and grassroots supporters to do whatever is necessary to restore the NPP to power.
Prominent members of the party, including the flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Deputy Speaker Joe Ghartey, and several other leading figures, are expected to join the two-day workshop and make presentations.
