Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa must resign or be dismissed by President – Caucus

According to by Utvghana on Tuesday 3 November 2026, the Minority Caucus in Parliament has called for the resignation or dismissal of Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, insisting that President John Dramani Mahama must take action over concerns raised against the minister.

According to the Minority, the Foreign Affairs Minister should voluntarily step down from his position or be relieved of his ministerial duties by the President. The caucus has warned that failure to address its concerns could compel its members to take further action.

The Minority’s position signals a possible escalation of tensions between the opposition caucus and the government over issues surrounding the minister’s conduct and responsibilities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In its statement, the caucus maintained that it expects President Mahama to take the necessary steps rather than allow the matter to remain unresolved. It also made it clear that it is prepared to pursue additional measures if its demand is not met.

The warning has placed renewed attention on the relationship between the Minority in Parliament and the Mahama led administration, particularly regarding parliamentary oversight and accountability within government.

However, the specific allegations or concerns underpinning the Minority’s demand, as well as the nature of the further action being contemplated, will be important in determining how the matter develops.

The government and the Foreign Affairs Minister’s response to the demand will also be closely watched as the political debate continues. For now, the Minority has made its position clear: it wants Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to resign or be dismissed by President Mahama, warning that it may take further action if its demand is ignored.
