The Former Majority Leader under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has disclosed circumstances under which he was replaced with Alexander Afeny0-Markin.
According to him, the decision was meant to create "visibility for the party in the Central Region." "The President (Akufo-Addo) said they needed to enhance visibility in the Central Region and match up to Ato Forson and Jane Opoku-Agyemang," he said on Accra-based Asempa FM on March 4.
In February 2024, the National Council of the New Patriotic Party changed leadership of the Majority Caucus in Parliament with Alexander Afenyo-Markin, MP for Effutu, taking on the mantle of Majority Leader.
The leadership changes were confirmed at a meeting led by the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong.
