What many thought would be a friendly and in-laws banter, between Alex Afenyo-Markin and Eric Don Arthur on TV3 went near nasty as the two trade personal attacks.

The incumbent Member of Parliament for Effutu, Afenyo-Markin clashed with the man who seriously wants his seat, Don Arthur on +275 debate segment of New Day on Tuesday.

Short of throwing punches, the two men flared up with accusation of gay, wallowing debt, moral turpitude and blackmail popping up.

The two gave viewers a fair idea of what the 2016 electioneering campaign would be like when issues hot up.

They virtually threw debate of issues to the dogs and faced off.
