The minority leader reported, Asiedu Nketia to Lawyer Andrews Asiamah who was the Presiding Speaker.
On June 20, 2025, Afenyo Markin on the floor of parliament stated, “Mr Speaker, you suspended the House for five minutes, and during that period, our colleagues allowed their National Chairman to enter the chamber to take pictures as part of his campaign, having garnered the support of the NDC MPs.
The National Chairman of the NDC, who has declared his intention to succeed President Mahama, entered the chamber. Mr Speaker, 60 NDC MPs initially took pictures with him. I am told that number later rose to 80”.
He added, “Mr Speaker, I want the Chairman to know that the 80 is not enough, he should get more to make him the preferred candidate. But Mr Speaker, to conclude, I want to know whether the rules of this House allow such actions.”
