NDC MPs have already begun power struggle over who will take over from Mahama – Afenyo-Markin

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Majority Leader of Parliament, has stated that Ghanaians will soon regret voting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into power in the just-ended 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

Afenyo, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Effutu, asserted that there is an emerging internal conflict within the NDC, which he predicts could significantly impact the party's future trajectory.

Speaking in an interview on Joy News, he reflected on developments during a parliamentary session on December 16, 2024.

He hinted at growing tensions within the NDC over leadership succession, noting that the party's internal struggle to determine who will succeed former President John Mahama has already begun.

"Already in Parliament on Monday, we saw a few things… in Parliament, we see things with our own eyes and hear things… their internal struggle for leadership has started; they have already begun their campaign for who will succeed Mahama," oyerepaonline.com quoted him as saying during the interview on Joy News.

When asked for specifics on the MPs involved in these leadership discussions, Afenyo-Markin declined to provide details.

"I will not disclose the names of the MPs who have started these conversations. All of this will be factored into what happens in 2028."

"I am confident that the public will soon see the true nature of the NDC and may regret giving them power in the just-ended general election," he added.

The Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, on Monday, December 9, declared John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, the winner in the 2024 presidential elections, with a total of 6,328,397 votes.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received 4,657,304 votes.

Mahama's party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), achieved historic success by gaining a majority in Parliament.
