The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has apologised to the Deputy Minister-designate of Health, Prof Grace Ayensu-Danquah, over controversial remarks he made questioning her ministerial appointment.
The apology, delivered during Prof Ayensu-Danquah's vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Friday, July 25, 2025, came after backlash over comments made by the Effutu MP earlier this month.
Afenyo-Markin had questioned why the ruling NDC government nominated her as Deputy Health Minister ahead of more senior female party members.
Faced with widespread criticism, Afenyo-Markin apologised to Prof Ayensu-Danquah during her vetting, expressing regret over his choice of words.
