Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has expressed his desire to be addressed as “Ɔsahene” instead of “Mr.” The matter was raised when Majority Chief Whip, Governs Kwame Agbodza, questioned the inclusion of “Ɔsahene” on the parliamentary roll.

“Item number 135, the name reads Afenyo-Markin Alexander Kwamina.

Speaker, this is the first time I’ve seen ‘Ɔsahene’ in brackets. Is that from the Electoral Commission, or is it a constituency or a title? I know he’s a lawyer,” the Chief Whip commented, causing laughter in the chamber.

He inquired whether “Ɔsahene” was a new title for the Minority Leader.

In response, Mr. Afenyo-Markin explained that the title “Ɔsahene” was conferred upon him by his uncle, the Omanhene of the Efutu Traditional Council, and it is a title he is expected to use.

“It is a title given to me by my uncle, the Omanhene of the Efutu Traditional Council, and I am to use it. I prefer to use that title, so I do not think you should have any problem with it.

It was not done privately; it was officially conferred on me by the traditional council through custom,” he said.

He further clarified that the title is not a chieftaincy title, but rather a family honor. “I want to be addressed as Ɔsahene Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin.

That is how I filled my form. It is my title. Just as some people are called Doctor or Professor because of titles they have earned, and others go by Alhaji, I have earned this title.”
