flag Ghana’s MP accuses Foreign Minister of trading ECOWAS leadership for AU chair support, calling the deal unnecessary and damaging.

flag Ghana’s MP Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh has accused Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa of sacrificing Ghana’s opportunity to lead the ECOWAS Commission in exchange for a pledge of support for President John Mahama’s 2027 African Union Chairmanship. flag Ayeh argued the AU leadership role was already guaranteed through Ghana’s position in the AU’s rotational system, making the alleged deal unnecessary. flag He criticized the minister for failing to secure a four-year ECOWAS presidency, which could have strengthened Ghana’s regional influence, and claimed the decision harmed long-term diplomatic strategy. flag No official response has been issued.
