The National Council of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has confirmed Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu, as the new leader of the majority caucus in Parliament.

This follows an emergency meeting by the NPP on Friday, to address issues of changes to the leadership of the majority in parliament.

The change complies with the Speaker’s decision regarding the selection process, after his interpretation of the right parliamentary procedure earlier this week.

The meeting, which involved members of the Majority Caucus, deliberated on recommendations from the National Executive Committee concerning the leadership reshuffle.

The General Secretary submitted the recommendations, along with the concurrence letter from the Majority Caucus, to the National Council, which approved them during the meeting.

This process adheres to the stipulations of Order 6 of the Standing Orders of Parliament (2024), as interpreted by Speaker Alban SK Bagbin.

The Speaker’s interpretation clarified that while parliamentary caucuses play a pivotal role in leadership selection, the involvement of political parties in this process cannot be sidelined, ensuring a balance between internal party democracy and parliamentary norms.

The Speaker of Parliament however, is expected to officially announce the leadership changes on the floor, following the receipt of a detailed letter from the NPP General Secretary confirming the changes.
