Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the MP for Effutu, has made yet another bold statement, this time targeting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and their approach to the 2024 elections. Referring to the NDC’s tactics as a campaign “built on mischief and propaganda,” Afenyo-Markin expressed his visible displeasure with what he believes is a strategy driven by deception rather than substance.
Speaking passionately, Afenyo-Markin warned, “A campaign built on mischief and propaganda is not a good campaign. It may benefit you today, but it will catch up with you tomorrow.” His remarks highlight his frustration with what he perceives as the NDC’s attempts to manipulate public opinion to gain political advantage.
While Afenyo-Markin’s criticism may resonate with his supporters, others see his comments as a reflection of his growing unease with the momentum the NDC has gained in recent months. Could this be a case of political jealousy? After all, Afenyo-Markin has built a reputation for being vocal and combative, especially when the NPP’s position seems threatened.
Critics argue that Afenyo-Markin’s constant focus on the NDC’s tactics rather than addressing pressing national issues is a distraction. Instead of dwelling on opposition strategies, they suggest the NPP should concentrate on delivering tangible results and rebuilding public trust ahead of the elections.
Whether driven by jealousy or genuine concern, Afenyo-Markin’s remarks are a clear indication of the heated political climate as Ghana approaches 2024. As both major parties prepare to lock horns, it remains to be seen whose strategy will resonate more with the electorate. One thing is certain—political debates in Ghana are only just heating up
