Reshuffle Looms In Majority Caucus As Report Reveals Afenyo-Markin Tipped To Become New Leader
News Hub Creator3h
The political landscape of Ghana is set for a significant shake-up as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) plans major changes to its parliamentary leadership. Reports indicate that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in collaboration with party leadership, will finalize decisions regarding the leadership of the Majority Caucus early next week.
Key among the anticipated changes is the likelihood of Alexander Afenyo-Markin being named the new Majority Leader. Should this happen, Afenyo-Markin would assume the additional role of Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, replacing the long-serving Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, after nearly three decades in Parliament, is reportedly being considered for a yet-to-be-disclosed role, potentially aligning with the campaign efforts of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
This development follows recent ministerial appointments on February 14, signaling the government’s intent to rejuvenate its team ahead of critical national decisions. In another notable adjustment, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, the Second Deputy Majority Chief Whip, has been nominated as Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, a move that underscores the importance of her portfolio in addressing Ghana’s pressing environmental concerns.
These changes reflect the NPP’s strategy to strengthen its leadership in Parliament and align key players with the party’s broader political objectives. As the reshuffle unfolds, it is expected to shape both the party’s internal dynamics and its public engagement, with far-reaching implications for governance and policymaking.
Observers are keenly watching for official announcements, as these adjustments could redefine the trajectory of the NPP’s leadership and its readiness for upcoming electoral challenges.
