Afenyo-Markin nearly captures Central Regional NDC Youth Wing - Report

Alexander Afenyo-Markin Alexander Afenyo-Markin

The Central Region's National Democratic Congress (NDC) members, particularly its youth have had their tempers shoot up following a hands laid-on information reaching them, which depicts Hon. Alexander Afenyo Markin, Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu's weird indulgence in the political party's recently conducted regional delegates conference held at the University of Education (Winneba).

Information gathered by the party's outburst members reveal the MP who's at the State's parliament on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in the NDC's held Regional Delegates Conference on Saturday 12th November, personally incited one Mohammed Kofi Twumasi- Nayyer, who according to investigations carried out by these persons discloses him to be a staunch NPP member but intentionally crossed carpet to contest in the rival political party's elections as an aspiring Youth Organizer.

They expressed worry as to how the fellow managed in getting himself cleared, having sat before a vetting committee in his bid to vie for the position.

The levelled allegation by these members of the NDC follows a cited pictorial evidence of the lawmaker and a practising lawyer, Hon. Afenyo-Markin which uncovers Mohammed Twumasi Nayyer (a lawyer as well) to be a member of the NPP's strategic campaign team set for its members known to be lawyers, together with one Bernina Korkor Maseyo Okutu (Esq).

The aggrieved party members having laid hands on the evidence are up with a serious agitation against the aforementioned Youth Organizer aspirant to be clapped with a disqualification having had a tie-break of 25votes in his vied for position with rival aspirant Bright Botchway.

Section of these party members remarked great disappointment in its colleague NDC delegates who went to polls to vote for Mohammed Twumasi as their Youth Organizer without probing to find out who and what actually the fellow is made of.

These peeved NDC members narrate, the Member of Parliament strategically arranged with the aspirant to come contest for the opposition, cunningly win it, then swear allegiance to him instead of the political party as part of their strategic plots going into the 2024 general elections.

Meanwhile, the slated date for the re-election of the region's NDC Youth Organizer position is yet to be made public by the electoral commission.
