Afenyo-Markin Retained as NPP Minority Leader for 9th Parliament

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has confirmed Alexander Afenyo-Markin as its Minority Leader in the 9th Parliament. This decision, endorsed by the party’s National Council, solidifies the leadership team that will steer the party’s parliamentary agenda.

Afenyo-Markin, who has served as the Member of Parliament for Effutu since 2013, previously held roles as Deputy Majority Leader and later Majority Leader. His retention follows advice from former National Chairman Freddie Blay, who recommended maintaining the current leadership, citing their strong performance in the 8th Parliament.

The NPP’s leadership structure for the 9th Parliament also includes Patricia Apiagyei as Deputy Minority Leader, Frank Annoh-Dompreh as Chief Whip, Habib Iddrisu as First Deputy Minority Whip, and David Opoku as Second Deputy Minority Whip.

In preparation for the official opening of the 9th Parliament, the NPP is organizing a meeting with its Members of Parliament-elect to outline their roles and responsibilities. This initiative aims to ensure a unified and effective representation in Parliament.
