The Member of Parliament for Atiwa East Constituency, Abena Osei Asare, has assured Ghanaians and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of their commitment to making a significant impact in Parliament despite their minority status.
According to the lawmaker, despite having only 88 seats in the House, they will work tirelessly to ensure their presence is felt.
Speaking at her thanksgiving service at the Anyinam Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Victory Congregation, Mrs. Osei Asare stated that the minority caucus will live up to its responsibilities and mandate.
“Nobody should underestimate us because of our numbers. Maybe God wanted to use these numbers to prove to the world that you don’t always need a huge crowd to perform well,” she said on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
The former Minister of State in Charge of Finance assured the NPP National Chairman, Steven Ayesu Ntim, of their readiness to make their representation meaningful despite having only 88 seats in Parliament.
Mrs. Osei Asare further emphasized that if any Minority Caucus member is appointed to a Parliamentary Committee or Board, they will serve diligently to meet the expectations of Ghanaians, especially their constituents.
She also used the opportunity to urge the NPP fraternity to put aside their disappointment of the 2024 elections defeat and regroup to recapture power in 2028.
In his sermon, Rev. Frank Amuzu, the Minister of the Church, commended the Atiwa East MP for consistently showing gratitude and giving thanks to God for her successive electoral victories, with the 2024 elections being no exception.
The Reverend Minister underscored the blessings of thanksgiving and emphasized the importance of appreciating God in all circumstances, regardless of adversities.
On his part, the Member of Parliament for Akuapem North Constituency, Sammi Awuku, speaking on behalf of the party’s national chairman, thanked the Atiwa East constituents for retaining Abena Osei Asare as their MP.
He also conveyed the party’s 2024 flagbearer and former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s, congratulatory message to Mrs. Osei Asare for the feat achieved of retaining her seat.
‘Dr. Bawumia offers his unwavering support and commitment to Abena Osei Asare and has asked her to call on him whenever the need arises,’ Mr. Awuku added.
The thanksgiving service was attended by the NPP National Chairman and his spouse, Eastern Regional NPP Executives, NPP MPs in the region, NPP Atiwa East Executives, party supporters, and other dignitaries.
