All four independent Members of Parliament (MPs) have decided to align themselves with the Majority Caucus, according to Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Majority Leader. The announcement was made in Parliament on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, during a sitting in Accra.

Dr. Forson confirmed that while all four independent MPs have expressed their intention to conduct business with the Majority, only Kwame Asare Obeng, the MP for Gomoa Central, has formally communicated his decision to the Majority Caucus.

The remaining three MPs—Ohene Kwame Frimpong (Asante Akim North), Nandaya Yaw Stanley (Wulensi), and Worlasi Kpeli (Afram Plains North)—have been instructed to officially notify both the Majority Caucus and the Speaker of Parliament of their decision in order to complete the formal process.

“We have received informal confirmations from all four MPs. As of now, the MP for Gomoa Central has officially written to us, but the others have yet to submit their formal letters,” Dr. Forson stated.

The official confirmation from these MPs is expected to further solidify the NDC’s position in Parliament as they move forward with legislative business.
