Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Majority Leader of Parliament, has stated that Ghanaians will soon regret voting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into power in the just-ended 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

Afenyo, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Effutu, asserted that there is an emerging internal conflict within the NDC, which he predicts could significantly impact the party’s future trajectory.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Joy News, he reflected on developments during a parliamentary session on December 16, 2024.<\/p>\n

He hinted at growing tensions within the NDC over leadership succession, noting that the party’s internal struggle to determine who will succeed former President John Mahama has already begun.<\/p>\n

“Already in Parliament on Monday, we saw a few things\u2026 in Parliament, we see things with our own eyes and hear things\u2026 their internal struggle for leadership has started; they have already begun their campaign for who will succeed Mahama,” oyerepaonline.com quoted him as saying during the interview on Joy News.<\/p>\n

When asked for specifics on the MPs involved in these leadership discussions, Afenyo-Markin declined to provide details.<\/p>\n

“I will not disclose the names of the MPs who have started these conversations. All of this will be factored into what happens in 2028.”<\/p>\n

“I am confident that the public will soon see the true nature of the NDC and may regret giving them power in the just-ended general election,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, on Monday, December 9, declared John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, the winner in the 2024 presidential elections, with a total of 6,328,397 votes.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received 4,657,304 votes.<\/p>\n

Mahama’s party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), achieved historic success by gaining a majority in Parliament.<\/p>\n
