Minority Caucus

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.
