Also known as: Minority Caucus in Parliament · the Caucus · New Patriotic Party Minority Caucus · Minority Caucus Committee on Education · Parliament of Ghana committee · Caucus
Parliamentary opposition bloc that scrutinizes government policy and budget matters, recently critical of Bank of Ghana's 2025 financial statements.
The Minority Caucus has mounted sustained criticism of the Bank of Ghana's 2025 financial statements, arguing that the central bank's reported GH¢15.6 billion loss significantly understates true losses when adjusted for one-off gold gains, and accusing the BoG of obscuring its financial condition through policy decisions. The caucus has also condemned a regional minister's remarks about transfers to northern Ghana as punishment, demanded transparency on energy sector levies, and called for government action on xenophobic attacks against Ghanaians in South Africa.
Suame MP John Darko has called on President Mahama to prioritise completing stalled Agenda 111 hospital projects from the previous administration rather than starting new infrastructure initiatives, arguing the healthcare facilities are critical to improving healthcare delivery and that the government should complete ongoing audits to resume construction.

The Minority Caucus in Parliament released an analysis of the Bank of Ghana's 2025 audited financial statements, arguing that bad policy decisions significantly worsened the central bank's financial position, partly contributing to an estimated underlying loss of about GH¢44 billion. Although the BoG officially reported a headline loss of GH¢15.6 billion, the Minority argues this figure understates the true economic cost when additional losses in Other Comprehensive Income and one-off gains from gold sales are adjusted for.

The Bank of Ghana has rejected claims by the NPP Minority Caucus about its 2025 audited accounts, describing them as misleading and a misinterpretation of reserve management. The BoG stated that the GH¢9.6 billion gain from gold sales was legitimate and standard practice for central banks, and that removing this gain to construct a deficit was artificial and inconsistent with accounting frameworks.

The Minority caucus claims the Bank of Ghana's reported GH¢5.5 billion surplus is misleading because it depends on a GH¢9.6 billion one-off gain from gold sales, and argues excluding that gain would leave a GH¢4 billion deficit. The Majority caucus rejects this as a misreading of the financial statements and says the Minority is creating unnecessary public alarm.
