In a poignant speech addressed to his colleagues in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin conveyed profound gratitude as he assumed the prestigious role of Majority Leader, a position he once considered beyond reach.
“I never envisioned this day,” remarked Afenyo-Markin during the parliamentary session on Friday, February 23.
Sharing personal anecdotes, he recounted the trials he faced, particularly in Winneba, where his political journey commenced. Afenyo-Markin revealed that in 2004, he almost abandoned his parliamentary aspirations due to concerns about his youthfulness.
However, the tide turned in 2012 when he secured victory in the parliamentary elections, representing the people of Effutu in Parliament. His unwavering determination and commitment to public service propelled him past the obstacles that once seemed insurmountable.
Looking ahead, Afenyo-Markin pledged to foster unity between the Minority and Majority in Parliament.
Addressing the Minority Leader, he affirmed his dedication to bipartisanship, emphasizing the importance of cooperation for the well-being and harmony of the house.
