The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has dismissed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) denial of reports that it is planning to change its Minority leadership in Parliament, describing the response as “fire fighting”. Speaking on JoyNews’ Top Story, NDC member Rashid Tanko Computer said the alleged plan to remove Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin had been discussed since the 2024 general elections. He insisted that the governing party was not seeking to influence the NPP’s leadership decisions but maintained that the opposition party was responding to mounting pressure following the reports. “Are they not fire fighting? That’s what they are doing. We are not determining for them. We are not telling them they should change their leaders or not. From the outset, they wanted to remove him,” he said.
