Chaos has erupted in Ghana’s Parliament during proceedings on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, after members of the Minority Caucus abandoned their seats and massed at the centre of the chamber.
The disturbance flared during heated exchanges over the declaration of the Kpandai parliamentary seat as vacant, a decision the Minority maintains is unlawful and procedurally flawed.
Before the confrontation, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga had dismissed what he described as the Minority’s “continuous and orchestrated protest,” insisting he was not surprised by their attempts to obstruct parliamentary business.
The Bawku Central MP accused the Minority of deliberately derailing parliamentary work over the contested Kpandai seat, arguing that the caucus had resorted to noise-making and unruly behaviour to prevent the Speaker from delivering rulings.
However, Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh countered sharply, warning that government business would “continue to suffer” until the Kpandai matter is resolved.
Moments after his remarks, tensions escalated.
Despite the Speaker’s attempts to proceed, Minority MPs intensified their protest, rising from their seats, marching into the middle of the chamber and chanting in opposition.
The sudden movement triggered a chaotic confrontation, with MPs from both sides surging toward the centre of the floor.
GhanaWeb cameras captured dramatic scenes inside the chamber as MPs in a heated face-off, papers flying through the air and the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev Ntim Fodjour, seen angrily yelling at a colleague.
