In a recent interview, Gabby Otchere-Darko, a legal practitioner and prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), addressed the alleged calls within the party to remove Alexander Afenyo-Markin from his position as Minority Leader in Parliament. Otchere-Darko expressed his lack of awareness regarding these calls, yet he praised the current state of the Minority in Parliament, describing it as strong and commendable. He further emphasized his confidence in the ability of Afenyo-Markin and the NPP presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to work together for the party's benefit. Otchere-Darko's statement comes in the wake of a presidential hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, who publicly called for Afenyo-Markin's resignation, citing internal power struggles and the desire for the Effutu Member of Parliament position in the Central Region. Agyapong's criticism extends to Afenyo-Markin's financial stability, suggesting that he should step down to allow others to take his place. However, Otchere-Darko's perspective highlights the stability and unity the Minority has maintained over the past year, which he believes is a testament to Afenyo-Markin's leadership. The article also mentions criticism from Solomon Owusu, a Senior Communicator for the Movement for Change, who argues that a weak leader like Afenyo-Markin contributes to the party's collapse. The interview's timing coincides with the renaming of Kotoka International Airport, which has sparked public interest and discussion.
