The Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu and Majority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, has broken silence following the just ended general election.

The MP, also a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed disappointment over his party's significant loss of seats in Parliament.

While acknowledging the hurt, he emphasized that the NPP's substantial defeat does not define the party and is not an unprecedented occurrence.

“In 2016, we had a resounding victory, and today, we find ourselves on the other side of the equation. It’s a reminder that elections are a part of the process, not the conclusion. The political landscape is ever-changing, and this loss does not define us.

“The result stings, and I know it hurts. But we must remember that this is not the end of the journey. As a party, we will regroup, reassess, and strategise to win the hearts of Ghanaians once again,” he said while addressing the media after winning is reelection bid.The National Democratic Congress (NDC) emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election, capturing 56.55% of the vote, the largest share since 1996. The party also dominated the parliamentary race and is on track to secure at least 180 seats in the House.

Afenyo-Markin noted that the election outcome reflects the desires of Ghanaians and deserves to be honored.

“If the electorate has decided to place their trust in the NDC this time around, we must honour that decision. The people have spoken, and it is their choice we must respect, even if it differs from ours,” he added.
