Minority Leader Afenyo-Markin in trouble

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has faced backlash for remarks made in Parliament concerning the elevation of the NDC’s Essikado-Ketan parliamentary candidate, Dr. Grace Ayensu Danquah.

While addressing the House, Afenyo-Markin implied that Dr. Danquah had been given preferential treatment with an appointment over other female MPs, including Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, for what he termed “strange reasons.”

His comments sparked immediate criticism, particularly from Deputy Health Minister-designate Dr. Danquah, who was present in the chamber.

She strongly objected to the statement, describing it as “problematic” and called for it to be removed from the official parliamentary record.
