The Deputy Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament and Member of Parliament for Bosome Freho, Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh, has criticised the government's handling of Ghana's foreign policy on the Morocco-Western Sahara conflict, accusing the Minister of Foreign Affairs, , and President 's administration of inconsistent diplomacy.
Speaking to the media in Parliament on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the Deputy Ranking Member expressed concern over Ghana's recent diplomatic shift, particularly Ablakwa's actions as foreign affairs minister.
He noted that under former President Nana Akufo-Addo, Ghana had imposed sanctions preventing the Algeria-backed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) from establishing a presence in Ghana.
At the time, Ablakwa, then the Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, described Akufo-Addo's decision as "unfortunate," "not well thought through," and "alien to our international foreign policy." However, Asafo-Adjei said that after assuming the role of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ablakwa visited Algeria in April 2025 and reportedly assured the Algerian government that the Mahama administration would support Western Sahara's sovereignty in the ongoing territorial dispute with Morocco.
