The minority caucus of the parliament of Ghana on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, “washed their hands” of the approval of Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Hon. Ablakwa, however, was approved by the majority caucus, despite the minority’s concern about him being the chairman of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), a committee apparently loathed by members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The confirmed regional ministers are Charity Gardiner (Minister of the Ahafo Region), Awuribe Issifu (Minister of the Savannah Region), Wilbert Petty Brentum (Minister of the Western North Region), Joseph Nelson (Minister of the Western Region), Joseph Addae Akwaboa (Minister of the Bono Region), Francis Owusu Antwi, (Minister of the Bono East Region), Puozuing Charles Lwanga (Minister of Upper East Region), and Eduamoah Ekow Panyin Okyere (Minister of the Central Region).
Felix Ofosu Kwakye, acting spokesperson to the President of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, will become the new Minister of Communications after receiving approval from Parliament.
