Minority invokes Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition in pledge to defend democracy
The Minority in Parliament has invoked the Danquah-Dombo-Busia political tradition, pledging to continue defending democracy, freedom and the rights of Ghanaians. Speaking at a press conference outside the Chamber on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin said the tradition was rooted in the United Party and reflected Ghana's diverse ethnic, religious and regional heritage. The press conference follows the ejection of Damongo MP Samuel Abu Jinapor from the parliamentary Chamber after he alleged that diplomatic passports were being sold for between $10,000 and $50,000. The Minority staged a solidarity walkout in response to his removal, with its subsequent public statements focusing on parliamentary accountability, democratic freedoms and what the caucus describes as intimidation of opposition lawmakers.
