The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reaffirmed its support for Minority Leader, Osahen Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin and his leadership team in Parliament, dismissing reports of a planned reshuffle of the Minority Caucus leadership as false and misleading.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the NPP had neither discussed nor considered replacing the current parliamentary leadership, insisting that reports suggesting otherwise were intended to create confusion within the party.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, October 29, 2026, Mr Kodua Frimpong categorically denied claims that the party was contemplating changes to the leadership of the Minority Caucus.
“Let me state it categorically. The party has never had any meeting. The party has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not,” he stated.
He accused individuals of circulating reports of attempting to sow division among members of the parliamentary leadership and undermining unity within the caucus.
“Those who are busily peddling lies and trying to create this confusion among the leadership in Parliament and the mighty Minority Caucus will not succeed,” he added.
Mr Kodua Frimpong stressed that the party remained satisfied with the current leadership and had not initiated any discussions about replacing Mr Afenyo-Markin or members of his team.
His comments come amid reports of a possible shake-up of the NPP’s parliamentary leadership, which have fuelled speculation about the party’s position on the future of its Minority Caucus leadership.
The General Secretary’s clarification is intended to dispel the rumours and reaffirm the party’s backing for Mr Afenyo-Markin and his team as they lead the NPP’s parliamentary opposition.
