Zanetor, Dafeamekpor, Annoh-Dompreh sworn in as Ghana’s reps to Pan-African Parliament
Ghana’s newly constituted delegation to the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) has officially been sworn in, reaffirming the country’s commitment to continental legislative dialogue and integration.
The delegation comprises Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor, Member of Parliament (MP) for South Dayi; Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, MP for Klottey-Korle; and Frank Annoh-Dompreh, MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri.
The three lawmakers took the oath of office during the Fifth Ordinary Session of the Sixth Parliament of the Pan-African Parliament, held in Midrand, South Africa, from July 16 to August 1, 2025.
They now join their counterparts from other African Union (AU) member states to deliberate on key continental issues such as peace and security, youth empowerment, climate action, and trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Ghana’s delegation brings a rich mix of legal expertise, public health advocacy, and legislative experience to the Pan-African body.
Mr Dafeamekpor, a legal practitioner, is expected to contribute significantly to constitutional and legal discourse within PAP. Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings, with her background in health and environmental advocacy, is well positioned to support PAP’s growing focus on sustainable development. Mr. Annoh-Dompreh, a seasoned legislator and Minority Chief Whip in Ghana’s Parliament, is anticipated to play a pivotal role in strengthening institutional processes.
Their appointment has been widely welcomed by stakeholders as a meaningful step toward reinforcing Ghana’s role in Africa’s democratic and development agenda.
Headquartered in South Africa, the Pan-African Parliament is one of the key organs of the African Union.
It provides a platform for African parliamentarians to engage in dialogue on matters of common interest and to offer advisory input on AU policies and programs.
Ghana has been an active member of PAP since its establishment in 2004, with its representatives consistently contributing to the advancement of AU’s Agenda 2063 through committee work and policy advocacy.
