In November 2024, the then Majority Leader, , made it clear that he would never sit in the seat of the Minority Leader due to what he described as spiritual reasons.
According to Afenyo-Markin, sitting in the Minority Leader's seat would be tantamount to leading his caucus into a minority position in Parliament.
This, he explained, was something he was unwilling to do, as it would carry negative connotations both politically and spiritually. "I will never sit on that seat," he declared, underscoring his firm stance.
However, just a few weeks after he made these comments, the NPP, with just 83 seats in Parliament after the December 7, 2024 elections, is now on the Minority side in Parliament.
