Addressing journalists at the party’s headquarters, Justin Kodua Frimpong explicitly rejected the validity of these claims and clarified that no discussions regarding a leadership shuffle have taken place within the party’s executive ranks, as the party leadership moved to quell speculation following rumors that an impending change was coming to the Minority Caucus. He emphasized that the party is fully satisfied with the current performance of its parliamentary representatives.
NPP Denies Leadership Shake-up
Let me state it categorically. The party has never had any meeting. The party has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not. So those who are busily peddling lies and trying to create this confusion among the leadership in Parliament and the mighty Minority caucus will not succeed.
Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary
The General Secretary pointed fingers at individuals spreading the claims, accusing them of attempting to create chaos within the party’s parliamentary ranks.
Support for Alexander Afenyo-Markin
This sentiment was echoed by Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei. The Asokwa MP described him as a man of wisdom, courage, and intelligence who has steered the affairs of the caucus, shaped its members, and made the NPP more attractive. Appiagyei further stated that Afenyo-Markin had used his own resources to organise training sessions for caucus members several times to improve their performance and delivery in the House.
Kodua Frimpong Says Constitution Forbids Running Mate Campaigns
There is nowhere in our constitution which says that running mate is selected through contest or through campaign. So the people who are busily urging bloggers to promote themselves, you are wrong.
