Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu constituency and outgoing Majority Leader of Parliament, has expressed optimism that Ghanaians will soon see through what he describes as the “hypocrisy and double standards” of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In an interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Afenyo-Markin accused the NDC of manipulating public sentiment to portray the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government as a failure.
He argued that the opposition’s strategy had shifted the electorate’s focus from transformative initiatives to immediate economic grievances.
“People were no longer looking for infrastructure or the important Free SHS policy that all parents were benefiting from.
They were looking for bread and butter because the NDC had created the impression that the NPP government had failed them,” he stated.
Afenyo-Markin noted that policies such as Free Senior High School (SHS) had revolutionized education accessibility, yet the narrative pushed by the opposition downplayed these achievements.
He acknowledged the challenges faced by Ghanaians but urged the public to assess the broader context of governance and policy implementation.
“I am very optimistic that Ghanaians will soon see the hypocrisy, the double standards, and the mischief.
“All the things they are trying to do now, with time, we will know who they really are,” he asserted, adding that the NPP remains committed to addressing the country’s challenges while prioritizing sustainable development.
