‘A lot of you will remain at the backbench’ – Afenyo-Markin ‘teases’ NDC MPs

In a lively moment during parliamentary proceedings, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin brought humor and wit to the floor, offering lighthearted predictions about the future roles of some NDC Members of Parliament.
Taking the spotlight with his characteristic joviality, Afenyo-Markin made a remark that caught the chamber’s attention:
“Mr. Speaker, I can see the incoming Majority Leader and his deputy conferring. Those of us in opposition, we know more things than those of you in government,” he quipped, drawing smiles across the room.
He continued with playful confidence, adding:
“If you ask me, I can tell all of you where you are going. But you don’t know. That is how it is. I know. Armah Kofi Buah is going to land. Yeah, you are going to land. Are you scared? Nobody will stop it. If destiny has it for you, you will get it. Why are you scared?”
The Minority Leader didn’t stop there, dropping more lighthearted predictions for his colleagues:
“Kwame Abodza is going to roads and highways. Yeah, we know Ahmed Ibrahim is going to local government. And a lot of you will remain at the backbench.”
Afenyo-Markin’s remarks, laced with humor and a touch of political insight, sparked laughter in the chamber, briefly easing the usual tension of parliamentary debate.
While his comments were meant in good fun, they also served as a subtle nod to the competitive nature of politics, as MPs eye potential cabinet appointments and career advancements.
With his playful predictions, Afenyo-Markin reminded his colleagues that amidst the seriousness of governance, a moment of levity can bring a welcome burst of energy to the parliamentary session.
