    In a meeting of the National Council of the NPP on Friday, February 23, 2024, where the changes were confirmed, the Suame MP who is in his final term was confirmed as a Minister of Parliamentary Affairs despite his resignation as Majority Leader.

    Presenting the recommendations and the concurrence letter from the Majority Caucus, the General Secretary of the NPP Justin Frimpong Koduah who was part of the emergency meeting, indicated that the caucus sought approval from the National Council, which convened at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.

    This process he added, adheres to the provisions of Order 6 of the Standing Orders of Parliament (2024), as interpreted by Speaker Alban SK Bagbin. The Speaker’s interpretation emphasized the significant role of parliamentary caucuses in leadership selection while maintaining the involvement of political parties in the process to ensure a balance between internal party democracy and parliamentary norms.

    Per the NEC’s recommendations, the newly appointed leadership team for the Majority Front Bench will consist of:

    Majority Leader: Alexander Afenyo-Markin, MP for Effutu

    Deputy Majority Leader: Patricia Appiagyei, MP for Asokwa

    Majority Chief Whip: Frank Annoh Dompreh, MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri
