Mr Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin, the Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency in the Central Region and Majority Leader in Parliament, has called on New Patriotic Party (NPP) members to overcome internal differences, unite, and work diligently to secure a victory in the upcoming December 7 elections.

Addressing party members, Mr Markin urged them to disregard those advocating for a “skirt and blouse” voting pattern, but to engage with members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other non-NPP supporters. He emphasised such engagement was crucial to achieving the party’s goal of an 80% victory in the Effutu Constituency.

Acknowledging the current hardships faced by Ghanaians, Mr Markin admitted while the situation was challenging, the NPP had demonstrated better management compared to the NDC.

He asserted the country’s circumstances would likely have been worse under NDC leadership.

The majority leader assured NPP members, particularly the youth, of his commitment to job creation and economic opportunities.

He also highlighted the significance of supporting Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and NPP flagbearer, pointing out an opportunity for an educated Muslim to lead Ghana might not come again.

He called on the Muslim community to rally alongside their Christian counterparts to ensure a decisive victory for Dr Bawumia and the NPP.
