Member of Parliament for Buem, Kofi Adams, has urged members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the general public to temper expectations regarding ministerial appointments as the party commits to its promise of a lean government.

Speaking on GHOne TV’s Hard Talk, Adams emphasised that the party’s manifesto pledge to govern with just 60 ministers must be upheld, even if it results in disappointment for some party members.

“One of the issues we campaigned on was that we’re going to have a lean government and that we’re going to work with 60 ministers. All of us went out with it,” Adams stated.

He explained that the party’s goal is to operate efficiently within the constitutional framework while ensuring broad-based representation in governance.

Adams acknowledged that the NDC, with 183 parliamentary seats secured so far and legal battles ongoing for additional seats, cannot appoint all MPs to ministerial roles.

“Even if they decided to take all the 60 [ministers] from parliament, not all of us will get. So you must understand that having campaigned on a certain promise, that promise must be kept. Surely, some would be disappointed, and some would be appointed.”
