Abena Oppong-Asare.

All five of Oppong-Asare's rebel votes fell on the same day — 20 June 2025 — and all concerned assisted dying. She voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading and opposed amendments that would have closed the voluntary starvation loophole, placing her among the bill's opponents even as the Labour majority backed it through to the Lords. Her stance is consistent with her voting profile: she scores notably higher than the Labour average on end-of-life autonomy and assisted dying safeguards, suggesting she opposed the bill on principled grounds rather than procedural ones. Beyond that single day of rebellion, she has voted with Labour 97% of the time.

Her parliamentary participation sits at 81% — slightly below the Commons average — and her voting record follows Labour lines closely on progressive taxation (100% aligned), workers' rights, and fiscal responsibility. She deviates from party colleagues on armed forces welfare and veterans' issues, where she votes in that direction far less often than most Labour MPs. Her 95 contributions span health, the economy, local government, and the environment, and her most prominent recent piece of advocacy is her campaign for Valerie's Law — legislation aimed at improving outcomes for Black women facing domestic abuse — which she marked publicly on the anniversary of Valerie Forde's death in March 2026.

She holds no current select committee seat, which limits her formal scrutiny role. Recent local news coverage — running across 59 articles in the past 90 days — clusters around policing, housing, and community issues, though average sentiment scores are near neutral, suggesting factual rather than evaluative reporting. Her last recorded speech was March 2026. No significant controversy appears in available data.
