Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged the Majority in Parliament to provide more opportunities for the Minority to engage actively in legislative advocacy as the House resumes.
Speaking at a leadership media briefing ahead of Parliament’s resumption on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Afenyo-Markin emphasized the need for inclusiveness in parliamentary business.
“We hold the view that in this meeting, the Majority should be more accommodating; they must hear us. They must allow the Minority to do more advocacy. We expect the Speaker to admit more and more of our motions,” he said.
The Minority Leader noted that the previous parliamentary session was marked by frustration, with several motions submitted by the Minority being declined, limiting their participation in legislative processes.
Afenyo-Markin expressed hope that the new session would enable greater engagement, stressing that a robust parliamentary democracy depends on all stakeholders being given a fair chance to contribute.
