Massive Reactions As Alleged Decision Of Bawumia To Sack Afenyo As Minority Leader Surfaces Online

As at October 29, 2026, Ghanaians have taken to social media to react to a claim that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has decided to remove Alexander Afenyo-Markin as Minority Leader in Parliament. The claim was shared on the official Facebook page of the US-based Ghanaian political and social commentator, Kevin Taylor, who announced that a decision had been reached and urged followers to “stay tuned.”

The post has generated widespread discussion, with many Ghanaians questioning the credibility of the claim in view of the commentator’s reputation for bold political predictions. Some expressed only partial belief in its accuracy, while others said they were waiting to see whether the so-called prophecy would materialise.

A large section of the public focused on the political implications of the alleged decision. Several social media users described the situation as a dilemma for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). In their view, proceeding with the move would appear to validate the commentator’s claim, while abandoning it for that reason alone could leave the party’s current challenges unresolved. This perspective attracted some of the strongest engagement on the thread.

Others highlighted what they saw as the irony of the moment, suggesting that the party might carry out the exact action that had been announced online. A few claimed to have prior knowledge of the development through contacts in Parliament.

Some commenters used the opportunity for light-hearted political banter, while others speculated that the Minority Leader could be given another role within the party. A handful also offered religious and rhetorical remarks on the matter.

The development comes at a time when the NPP is navigating internal discussions about its direction and leadership structure in opposition. Observers note that any change in the Minority Leadership would carry significant weight, given the role’s importance in coordinating the party’s parliamentary strategy and holding the government accountable. Ghanaians are now keenly awaiting an official response to determine whether the claim holds any truth.
