The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has denied widespread reports suggesting that it plans to replace Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin as part of a purported leadership reshuffle in Parliament.
According to the opposition party, no such plans exist, and the matter has not even been discussed at any party meeting.
At a press conference, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong said there was no truth to the rumours.
“Let me state it categorically. The party has never had any meeting. The party has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not.
“So those who are busily peddling lies and trying to create this confusion among the leadership in Parliament and the mighty Minority caucus will not succeed,” he said.
He added that the party remains satisfied with the work and sacrifices of Afenyo-Markin.
“We are very happy with the work of Afenyo-Markin. There is no meeting to change the leadership of the mighty Minority in Parliament,” he said.
His comments come amid speculation about a possible change in the leadership of the NPP Minority Caucus in Parliament.
Afenyo-Markin has served as the leader of the party’s parliamentary caucus since the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general election.
