Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to unite and work collectively towards reclaiming power in the 2028 general elections.

Speaking in an interview on Peace FM on November 28, 2025, the Effutu MP emphasised that political comebacks are possible when party members remain focused and committed, citing President John Dramani Mahama’s resurgence as an example.

“Whoever thought John Mahama can be president again? Let us face the facts, it took Asiedu Nketiah to charge through the storm after Mahama lost by over one million votes in the 2016 elections. When the NDC was in disarray, when they had nobody, it took Asiedu Nketiah to put the party together,” he said.

Afenyo-Markin urged NPP members not to lose hope despite the party’s internal challenges and recent electoral setbacks.

“NPP, don’t be sad. There is hope. Let us work together and we can take inspiration from the NDC and win power,” he added.

The Minority Leader appealed to party members who may feel aggrieved or overlooked by the government, encouraging them to set aside personal frustrations for the greater good of the party.

“Look, I am pleading with every NPP member: even if the government was not fair to you, put all your anger somewhere and let us work together to win,” he said.

“It took Asiedu Nketiah, the Ahwois and others to put the NDC together. So, NPP, there is hope.”
