Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, has been elected Chairman of the Committee on Health, Social Work and Labour at the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) under the Western Caucus.

He has pledged to collaborate with fellow lawmakers to promote policies that enhance citizens’ welfare and advance Africa’s integration and development agenda.
