Frank Annoh-Dompreh Elected Chairman of PAP’s Health, Social Work and Labour Committee

Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP and Minority Chief Whip Hon. Frank Annoh-Dompreh has been elected Chairman of the Committee on Health, Social Work and Labour at the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) under the Western Caucus.

His election reflects the confidence reposed in him by colleagues from across West Africa and marks another milestone in Ghana’s growing influence within the continental legislative body.

The Western Caucus, which comprises 14 countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Liberia, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Cape Verde and Togo, played a key role in his selection.

As Chairman, Mr. Annoh-Dompreh is expected to lead discussions and contribute to policy direction on critical issues including healthcare systems, labour rights and social protection across Africa.

He described the appointment as both a personal achievement and a significant gain for Ghana, particularly for the people of Nsawam-Adoagyiri. He pledged to work collaboratively with fellow lawmakers to advance policies that improve citizens’ welfare while strengthening Africa’s integration and development agenda.

The Pan-African Parliament is the legislative arm of the African Union, with members from all 55 AU member states.
