Dr Zaato hails Afenyo-Markin as one of Ghana's most effective minority leaders

Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Jebuntie Zaato, has commended the performance of the Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, describing him as one of Ghana’s most consequential and effective opposition leaders.

In a social media post on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 Zaato lauded the Effutu Member of Parliament for his leadership qualities and his contribution to strengthening Ghana’s parliamentary democracy.

“Hon Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin will go down in history as one of the most consequential and effective Minority Leaders in Ghana. In dark times like these, you are a vanguard of our fledgling democracy,” Dr Zaato wrote.

The political analyst’s remarks come amid growing public discourse on the performance of the current Minority leadership, with Afenyo-Markin recently making headlines in parliamentary affairs by leading a boycott of the vetting of Chief Justice nominee, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.
