Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has alleged that Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko played a pivotal role in the removal of Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu from his position as Majority Leader.

The Suame legislator in February of this year formally announced his resignation as Majority Leader, a position he held for over seven years.

According to Mr Antwi, Gabby Otchere-Darko, along with other members of the President’s family, wrongly believed that Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was orchestrating the calls from Majority Members of Parliament for the dismissal of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

Antwi described Gabby Otchere-Darko as “Ghana’s Prime Minister” and accused him of spreading falsehoods to create discord against the Majority Leader, who he insists had no involvement in the MPs’ demands.

“They thought Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was the one behind us calling for Ken Ofori-Atta to be removed. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was also not even aware until we did our press conference. Where in this world did you hear him say that he wanted to be a finance minister?” Antwi questioned in an interview on Oyerepa TV.

The Subin MP further criticized Gabby, labeling him as a liar who lacks the fear of God. He recounted an incident where he was invited to Gabby Otchere-Darko's house.

“You called me to come to your house, and I asked you to record me because I didn’t want him to misquote me to the president. I shouldn’t have even gone there, but I went and asked that he record me so that he does not misquote me to the President,” Antwi explained.

He emphasized that Gabby Otchere-Darko was instrumental in the campaign to remove Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu. “Gabby was the leader of the people who saw to the removal of the Majority Leader. But if you are going into an election as critical as this and you decide to take out the experienced Leader in Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, then you clearly are not ready to make history,” Mr Antwi.

In April 2024, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu said he was not pushed to resign from his position as leader of government business in parliament, as speculated.

“I was resigning to save the party; I was resigning to prevent any chaos in the party. That’s all that I can say. But I think ever since I did, I have refused to speak to any station.“
