Minority Leader in Parliament and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has launched a sharp attack on the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing the party of consistently failing to deliver on its promises whenever it assumes political power.
Speaking to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Sefwi-Wiawso in the Western North Region, Afenyo-Markin described the NDC as a “complete scam” and likened its approach to “419,” claiming the party thrives on deception.
“NDC is a complete scam. They are 419 people. They come to you and lie to you, and when you give them power, they do nothing. But they can only achieve that if we ourselves are divided,” he said.
Afenyo-Markin stressed that the NPP’s greatest threat is not the NDC but internal divisions within its own ranks. He urged party members to put aside differences that emerged during the flagbearer election and rally behind the party’s leadership.
“Let me tell you that the NDC cannot defeat a united NPP. It is only a divided NPP that can defeat itself. So I charge every TESCON member, every youth of this party, every foot soldier in this hall, whatever camp you may have been during the flagbearer election, the election is over. We are one NPP,” he added.
The Minority Leader also emphasized the importance of patience, sacrifice, and loyalty for young members seeking to build political careers within the party. He expressed concern over the NPP’s electoral performance in the Western North Region, noting that the party secured only one parliamentary seat there. He appealed to supporters to remain united and work together to strengthen the party’s rebuilding efforts ahead of the next general elections.
