Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has weighed in on the recent tensions in Parliament, urging patience in assessing the new government while cautioning against the growing influence of social media on political decision-making.
Afenyo-Markin pointed to internal divisions within the Majority, noting that some members had turned to social media to attack their own leadership. "They've been attacking their own chairman on social media, saying he is weak and allowing Afenyo-Markin to dictate to him.
