The Minority Leader in Parliament, Hon Alexander Afenyo-Markin has boldly claimed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has failed.
Afenyo Markin boldly asserted that the NDC is a failure and Ghana deserves better.
According to the minority leader, the NDC betrayal is glaring as they have increased fuel levies, crashing Ghanaians.
Speaking at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference in Accra on Saturday, July 19, Afenyo Markin stated “The NDC’s betrayal is glaring. New levies on fuel have sparked pump prices, crashing ordinary Ghanaians.”
“Their pledge to end galamsey has crashed into chaos. The president calls it a national emergency, yet refuses to declare a state of emergency,” Afenyo-Markin said.
“They have vowed to reset our nation, but it has become a brazen assault on our judiciary—starting with the shameful vilification of our Chief Justice,” he stated.
He charged, “Their promise of change is a sham, with schemes afoot to funnel our mineral wealth to their cronies”.
“Worst of all, the questionable Ablekuma North rerun where NDC-affiliated thugs attacked our candidate Nana Akua Afriyie and former MP Hawa Koomson,” he added.
The Minority Leader went on delivering a blunt assessment of the NDC’s leadership, insisting “The message is clear—NDC is a failure, Ghana deserves better.”
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced an expansion to its Electoral College that will select its presidential candidate for the 2028 election.
Frank Davies, Chairman of the Constitution Amendment Committee, revealed, “Whereas the National Council of the party has, pursuant to Article 13(1) of the constitution, scheduled January 31, 2026 as the date to elect the party’s 2028 presidential candidate,” Davies stated, “the National Annual Delegates Conference has adopted an amendment to expand the Electoral College for this purpose.”
