The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency in the Eastern Region, , has stated that Ghana would have celebrated a threshold of fifty ministers, rather than sixty, under President John Dramani Mahama's administration if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had won the 2024 election.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on February 4, 2025, Oppong Nkrumah asserted that an NPP-led government would reduce the number of ministers to fifty in a future administration. "Mr.

Speaker, I am tempted to comment briefly on the remarks made by the Minister for Education in celebration of what I will call the new threshold of sixty ministers. "As commendable as it is, to the extent that we are making remarks that are worth capturing, we should also acknowledge that if the election results had been different, we would be celebrating fifty ministers instead of sixty.

The new threshold of sixty is worth celebrating, but in the very near future, we will be celebrating fifty under an NPP administration," he said.
