Afenyo-Markin: Opposition Must Be Vigilant, Not Obstructive (Parliament Needs Balance)
Alexander Afenyo-Markin has said again that he will hold the government accountable while not getting in the way of parliament’s work. He said that being a good opposition requires both vigilance and restraint. On Channel One TV on February 16, 2026, he said that his job requires him to strike a balance between strict scrutiny and following the rules. He also said that the opposition should remember that they could one day return to power. People often say that he is controversial because he is active in Parliament, but he says that his actions are based on principles rather than personal reasons. He also says that he is careful not to make things worse or make things personal, especially with an eye on 2029. He also said that it was hard at first to get everyone in the Minority caucus to agree, but that those problems were eventually worked out.
