The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, has expressed strong confidence that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will eventually return to power, even if it takes years as per reports from Ghana Web on Friday, February 28, 2025.
Addressing Parliament on Friday, February 28, 2025, Afenyo-Markin stated his belief that no matter how long it takes, the NPP will one day become the Majority in Parliament and lead the government.
He stressed that this shift is inevitable as long as the country upholds its democratic principles.
The Effutu MP acknowledged the current dominance of the Majority but remained optimistic about his party’s future.
“Even if I am dead and gone and this democracy we have all established is in force, the NPP will someday come into power. Be it 100 years, the NPP will someday come,” he stated.
His remarks came in response to a push from the Majority side, advocating for a larger number of their members to be given speaking opportunities during debates, compared to the Minority.
This call for a proportional platform allocation sparked criticism from Afenyo-Markin, who warned the Majority about setting a dangerous precedent.
He cautioned that the actions of the current Majority could have long-term consequences. “A day may come that references will be made,” he stated, implying that the same standards being set now could one day be used against them.
