Will They Retain You? Afenyo-Markin Asks Alban Bagbin In Parliament

In the latest session of Parliament held on December 16, 2024, Majority Leader Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin made a lighthearted yet thought-provoking remark about the future of leadership in Parliament.

Addressing Speaker Alban Bagbin, Afenyo-Markin expressed his uncertainty about whether Bagbin would be retained as Speaker or if a new appointee would take the position, in a comment that caught the attention of many.

“Mr. Speaker, I don’t know whether you are being retained or a new person is going to be appointed. But I pray that if they decide to retain you, I know Parliament is going to benefit. But should they decide to retire you? They can do it. They are unpredictable,” Afenyo-Markin said, with a hint of humour in his voice, while addressing Bagbin during the session.

The Majority Leader’s remarks came in the wake of a dynamic political environment, with the recent December 7 general elections and the subsequent changes in parliamentary dynamics.

The leadership of the Parliament is often a topic of much speculation, especially following such significant elections, and Afenyo-Markin’s comment reflected the ongoing anticipation surrounding the Speaker’s role.
