New Patriotic Party Flagbearer, Mahamudu Bawumia, has paid an emotional tribute to the party’s Minority Caucus in Parliament, describing them as the “last line of defence and glimmer of hope” for Ghanaians since the NPP lost power in the December 2024 general elections.
Addressing the Caucus at a pre-Parliament session briefing, Dr. Bawumia commended the MPs for their service under opposition conditions, saying the recognition of “The Mighty Minority” was well deserved.
“In the last 17 months, when all has been said and done, you have been the last line of defence and glimmer of hope for the Ghanaian. You have stood and defended our nation and party to everyone’s admiration,” he said.
More Than A Numbers Game
He stressed that the Minority’s role goes beyond its numerical strength in Parliament, describing it as the parliamentary voice of hope for supporters of the party.
“Do not underestimate your place in this moment,” he told MPs, adding that the Minority serves as the first line of accountability, policy scrutiny, and reassurance to citizens.
Reassurance At A Critical Political Moment
Dr. Bawumia said Ghana was at a critical political juncture, noting that public scrutiny of the current administration was increasing as citizens began to assess its performance.
He added that this shift presents an opportunity for the Minority to strengthen its voice both in Parliament and in the public space.
Personal Pledge To MPs
He further pledged continuous support to the Caucus, promising to remain engaged and available to assist their parliamentary work.
“I believe in this Caucus. I believe in your intellect, your courage, your experience, your political instincts and above all, your love for NPP and Ghana,” he said.
He also condemned what he described as the harassment of party members, urging MPs to defend constitutional freedoms and act as protectors of free expression.
