Gibril alleges NPP MPs used 'wee-infused toffees' during December 9 chaos

The Deputy Director of Elections and ICT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mahdi Gibril, has described the conduct of the Minority Caucus in Parliament on December 9, 2025, as unparliamentary and unacceptable.

​Speaking on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM’s Frontline with host Kwabena Agyapong, the politician offered a sharp critique of the Minority’s actions and made a controversial allegation regarding their behaviour.

The statement follows a period of significant turmoil in Parliament, which erupted as the Majority and Minority caucuses clashed over the Speaker’s ruling to proceed with the day’s business.

​The Minority had demanded an adjournment until the dispute surrounding the Kpandai rerun election was resolved. Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh formally informed the House that no government business should take place until the matter was settled.

​Despite this, the Speaker ruled in favour of continuing proceedings following a voice vote.

In response, Minority MPs protested by chanting and attempting to disrupt the session.

​Commenting on the chaotic display, Gibril criticized the Minority, advising them to utilize more appropriate channels for addressing their concerns instead of disrupting proceedings.

He then escalated his criticism by alleging that the NPP MPs had consumed ‘wee-infused toffees’ (marijuana), suggesting this may have influenced their “chaotic behaviour.”

The host intervened, advising Gibril to withdraw the comment, calling it harsh and “radio unfriendly.” Gibril subsequently withdrew the statement.

​

​Regarding the latest survey released by Mussa Dankwah’s Global Infoanalytics, Gibril expressed confidence in the NDC’s prospects for the Kpandai rerun.

​While the survey projected the NPP’s candidate as being more popular, he dismissed the findings. “The science and data has projected the NPP’s candidate as more popular, but that does not scare us as a party,” he stated. “We will win the seat no matter the analysis and scientific data released.”

​He further argued that the NPP candidate’s popularity rating of 50% was a “terrible” showing given the level of marketing, suggesting the candidate should have surpassed that mark.
