Afenyo-Markin In Trouble? Kevin Taylor Claims Decision Has Been Made

According to a report by Ghanaian Citizen TV, on Thursday October 29, 2026, Political commentator Kevin Taylor has reportedly claimed that a decision has been made for former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to remove Alexander Afenyo-Markin from his position as Minority Leader in Parliament, sparking fresh discussions about the leadership dynamics within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The claim, which has been presented as a major political revelation, raises questions about the future of the NPP’s parliamentary leadership and the relationship between influential figures within the party.

According to the statement attributed to Taylor, a decision has already been reached regarding Afenyo-Markin’s position, with Bawumia allegedly expected to play a role in the proposed leadership change.

However, details surrounding the alleged decision, including who made it and when it was reached, have not been independently established.

Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Effutu, is a prominent figure in the NPP’s parliamentary caucus.

As Minority Leader, he plays a central role in coordinating the opposition’s activities in Parliament, responding to government policies and leading debates on matters of national importance.

His position makes any suggestion of a possible leadership change politically significant, particularly at a time when the NPP continues to navigate internal discussions about its future direction and preparations for the 2028 general elections.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who served as Vice President of Ghana, remains an influential figure within the party.

Any reported involvement of the former Vice President in a potential change to the parliamentary leadership is therefore likely to attract attention from party supporters, lawmakers and political observers.

Taylor’s alleged revelation could also intensify speculation about whether disagreements exist among senior NPP figures over the current leadership of the Minority Caucus.

Nevertheless, speculation about internal party tensions should not be mistaken for confirmation that a decision to replace Afenyo-Markin has been taken.

A change in parliamentary leadership would be a significant development for the NPP, as the Minority Leader is responsible for representing the caucus in parliamentary engagements and helping coordinate its legislative and political strategy.

The circumstances surrounding any proposed replacement would also be important, including whether the matter has been discussed by the relevant parliamentary members and what process would be followed if a change were pursued.

For now, the claim attributed to Taylor remains unverified. No supporting evidence or official announcement has been provided to establish that Bawumia has been tasked with removing Afenyo-Markin or that the NPP has formally decided to replace its Minority Leader.

The reported claim has nonetheless placed the question of Afenyo-Markin’s political future at the centre of renewed discussion about the NPP’s internal affairs.

Further clarification from Taylor, Bawumia, Afenyo-Markin or the party’s leadership would be needed to determine whether the alleged plan reflects an actual decision or remains political speculation.

As developments unfold, attention is likely to remain on the NPP’s parliamentary leadership and whether any official steps will be taken to alter the current arrangement.
