Majority Leader Alex Afenyo-Markin has disclosed how he still maintains his healthy friendship and ‘bromance’ with the outspoken Assin-North Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong relationship after he openly supported the Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Bawumia, during the 2023 primaries.
During an interview with CitiTV’s Bernard Avle on February 26, 2024, Mr. Markin revealed that they both threw their support behind Dr. Bawuia until Kennedy Agyapong announced his intention to contest the party’s ‘preferred’ candidate, Dr. Bawumia.
Given the friendship he had with Kennedy Agyapong and his inability to retract his commitment to Vice President Bawumia as a Catholic and a free mason, he revealed to the Assin North MP he could not support him, which he believes Kennedy Agyapong appreciated most.
“Both of us were Bawumia and out of the blue, he informed me that, Alex, I want to contest. I said okay, but as it is, I am a Freemason and a Catholic.
“I know how to respect friendship, and if you give your word to a brother, you have to keep it. So I told him that our friendship would remain, but it would be difficult to be seen out there doing this or that.
