The National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reaffirmed Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu constituency, as the Minority Leader for the 9th Parliament.
Afenyo-Markin will lead the party’s front bench, supported by Patricia Appiagyei as Deputy Minority Leader, Frank Annoh-Dompreh as Chief Whip, Habib Iddrisu as First Deputy Minority Whip, and Davis Ansah Opoku as Second Deputy Minority Whip.
The decision to retain Afenyo-Markin as the NPP leader in Parliament underscores his pivotal role in shaping the NPP’s legislative strategy. Known for his strategic thinking and eloquence, he has been a unifying figure within the caucus, rallying MPs to address national challenges and hold the government accountable.
To prepare for the new parliamentary session, the NPP will convene a meeting with its Members of Parliament-elect to outline their roles and align the caucus with the party’s strategic goals.
The leadership team is tasked with advancing the party’s legislative agenda in the 9th Parliament, addressing critical national issues, and ensuring a strong, constructive opposition. Maintaining internal cohesion while advocating for policy reforms will be central to their responsibilities.
Afenyo-Markin’s reappointment signals stability and continuity, which analysts believe will enhance the NPP’s effectiveness in Parliament. The party’s focus on teamwork and leveraging its leaders’ experience positions it to play a vital role in navigating pressing issues, including governance reforms, economic recovery, and social development.
With a commitment to unity and proactive leadership, the NPP aims to be a strong voice in Parliament, representing the best interests of Ghanaians.
