New Majority Leader Urges Bipartisanship as Leadership Shifts in Ghana’s Parliament

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the recently endorsed Majority Leader, is calling for bipartisan collaboration between the Majority and Minority Caucuses in Parliament. The New Patriotic Party’s National Council’s approval of the leadership change set the stage for Afenyo-Markin’s address to fellow Members of Parliament.

In his appeal to the Minority Caucus, Mr Afenyo-Markin stressed the potential mutual benefits of working together within the parliamentary landscape. He emphasized the need for unity, seeking cooperation and support from all colleagues for effective governance.

The reshuffling of leadership within the Majority Front Bench aligns with recent interpretations of parliamentary procedures and corresponds with the Speaker’s latest rulings on the selection process. The changes were confirmed during a meeting presided over by the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong.

The newly appointed leadership team for the Majority Front Bench includes Alexander Afenyo-Markin as Majority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei as Deputy Majority Leader, Frank Annoh Dompreh as Majority Chief Whip, Habib Iddrisu as First Deputy Majority Chief Whip, and Alex Tetteh Djornobuah as Second Deputy Majority Chief Whip.
