The Minority Leader, , appears to be gradually finding his footing and carving out a role for himself as a provocative figure, effectively carrying out his duties as an opposition leader.
During the Appointment Committee's ministerial vetting of President 's nominees for the Ministry of Finance, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and the Ministry of Energy, Afenyo-Markin took the spotlight with his frequent interjections and tendency to find fault.
One of the key moments during the vetting was when the lawmaker was cautioned by the chairman of the committee after he used the platform to effectively hold a press conference and voice his side's grievances regarding President Mahama's ministerial nominations.
Additionally, he led his caucus members on the committee in staging a brief walkout due to reported disagreements with the chairman.
