The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu (Joewise) says the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin should be allowed to serve as the Minority Leader in the next parliament when the New Patriotic Party forms the Minority after losing the 2024 elections.
He says the NPP MPs will not be able to effect any policy change in the next parliament because they do not have the numbers to do so but they will have to be vocal and make their voices heard.
In his view, since Afenyo-Markin who is also Member of Parliament for Effutu has had some experience in the leadership in Parliament, he should be allowed to continue as the Minority Leader. "I strongly believe in longevity and experience from our own actions and inactions.
You can tell that when Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was the Minority Leader and Majority Leader, he stood out very clearly.
