The Parliamentary session on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, took an unexpected turn when Speaker Alban Bagbin referred to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority caucus as a "micro-minority."

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, strongly objected to the label and insisted that the Speaker adhere to the formal designation of their caucus as the "Minority."
