Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has firmly denied widespread rumours suggesting he is planning to contest the upcoming elections as an independent candidate.
Speaking to the media on Thursday at Tsiame, Afenyo-Markin described the claims as false and politically motivated, reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“I am not running independently,” he said. “I remain loyal to the NPP, and together we are focused on delivering impactful governance and development.”
Addressing supporters and constituents, Afenyo-Markin shifted focus to a pressing national issue—women empowerment.
He emphasized that Ghana’s sustainable development depends on increasing female participation in politics, education, and leadership roles.
“As a nation, we must break the barriers limiting our women,” he noted, calling for more government policies to support gender equality, access to education, and economic opportunities for women.
Afenyo-Markin’s remarks come at a time when independent candidacies and women’s rights are key topics in Ghana’s political discourse.
His strong stance aligns with the NPP’s broader agenda of inclusion, unity, and progressive development, while putting to rest speculations surrounding his political intentions for 2025.
