In a recent parliamentary session, Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, does not measure up to the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

During the session, Afenyo-Markin compared the records of John Mahama as Vice President and President to that of Dr. Bawumia, emphasizing the significant disparities between the two.

He expressed his opinion that Mahama cannot rival Dr. Bawumia's achievements.

In his address to the speaker and fellow parliamentarians, Afenyo-Markin criticized the opposition, stating, "These are the same people who could not lead this country to the promised land, who could not lay the foundation for economic growth."

He highlighted his skepticism about the opposition's ability to bring about positive change, asserting that they lack the capability to make a substantial impact.

“But today the liberties of opposition is making them believe that they can do something. You can do nothing. You cannot do it. You have been given the opportunity for 8 years,” he added.

Afenyo-Markin further addressed the return of John Mahama and cited the appointment of Naana Opoku-Agyemang, particularly noting her record in the Education Ministry.

“You’re bringing back the same old John Mahama, you’re bringing back the old Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s record in the Education ministry. Can she confirm her records to the records of Dr Bawumia,” he added.

He questioned her ability to compare her accomplishments to those of Dr. Bawumia and challenged the opposition to present evidence of their achievements.

In his concluding remarks, Afenyo-Markin confidently asserted, "Mr. Speaker, can your Naana Opoku Agyemang compare her records to Dr. Bawumia? Can your own John Mahama compare his records as president and vice-president to the records of Dr. Bawumia? No, he cannot."
