The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has made some changes to the leadership of the Majority Caucus in Parliament in preparation for the upcoming December elections. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the current Deputy Majority Leader, is expected to take over from Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu. However, it is unclear what the future holds for the Suame MP, especially in his role as Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.
However, sources say he may chair the NPP’s 2024 Manifesto Committee.
Further changes include Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the current Majority Chief Whip and MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, ascending to the Deputy Majority Leader position leading to the promotion of Habib Iddrisu, the present First Deputy Whip as Majority Chief Whip.
Again, Asokwa MP, Patricia Appiagyei, is likely to assume the role of First Deputy Whip, filling the void left by Lydia Seyram Alhassan’s nomination as Minister for Water Resources and Sanitation.
Sources suggest Alex Tetteh Djornobuah, MP for Sefwi-Akontombra, is in line to become the Second Deputy Whip.
The National Council of NPP will hold a meeting on Monday to formalize adjustments made after President Akufo-Addo’s Cabinet reshuffle on Valentine’s Day last week.
