The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has called on the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, to be cautious with his utterances regarding the 2024 general elections.

He stated that Afenyo-Markin does not have the right to criticize the NDC for the chaotic incidents recorded at various collation centers, blaming it on their supporters.

The NDC National Chairman ridiculed the leader of the NPP caucus in Parliament after his party lost most of their seats despite using their majority status earlier to bluff.

Addressing the public on December 13, 2024, Asiedu Nketiah asked Afenyo-Markin to shut up about advising the NDC regarding electoral violence as he could become a micro-minority leader in the next Parliament.

“Now I heard my junior brother Afenyo-Markin, having rejected the position of the minority leader, is now on his way to becoming a micro-minority leader, bragging that he belongs to a party of rule of law and all that.

"Who doesn’t know about NPP? We in the NDC don’t need lectures from Afenyo-Markin on democracy. If there were any need for lectures in impunity, then we will invite him as our lecturer, but if it is about democracy, then he must shut up,” he fumed.

This comes after the Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson declared the results of the 2024 general elections on December 9, 2024.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, emerged as the winner, garnering 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55%, while the New Patriotic Party Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, finished second with 4,657,304 votes, representing 41.61%.

The NPP also lost most of their parliamentary seats, with some of their bigwigs like KT Hammond, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, and Henry Quartey being major victims.
