There is a saying that to every rumour, there is an iota of truth behind it.

This saying seems to have materialized in Ghana's politics as a prediction by Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, for a ministerial position within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration led by President John Dramani Mahama has come to pass.

On January 9, 2025, Afenyo-Markin leaked a ministerial list, claiming it was the appointment list of President Mahama's ministers.

During proceedings in Parliament on Thursday, January 9, 2025, he listed a number of ministerial and deputy ministerial appointment nominations supposedly made by President John Dramani Mahama.
