Ghana will not expand its cabinet past 60 ministers despite calls for change, with officials citing efficiency and workload concerns.

Ghana’s government will not expand its cabinet beyond 60 ministers, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga confirmed on February 20, 2026, rejecting calls for growth despite increasing workloads. He criticized opposition tactics during parliamentary sessions, saying political posturing wastes ministers’ time and hinders governance. Ayariga emphasized ministers’ dual roles and cited the Finance Ministry’s recent 10 billion cedi debt payment under pressure. Meanwhile, NDC leader Fifi Kwetey hinted at an upcoming reshuffle to boost efficiency, though no timeline was given, ahead of President John Mahama’s State of the Nation Address on February 27.
