Parliamentary tensions rose on January 8 when Speaker Alban Bagbin referred to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs as a “micro-minority” during a debate.

The remark drew immediate backlash from Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who categorically rejected the term, arguing that it was demeaning to the NPP caucus.

The Minority Caucus protests the description given to us by the Speaker,” Afenyo-Markin declared, urging the Speaker to avoid such characterisations that undermine their dignity.

The Speaker, however, countered that Afenyo-Markin himself had previously used the phrase in a similar context.

Despite this, the Effutu MP maintained his stance, insisting that such language was inappropriate for parliamentary proceedings.

The NPP caucus, despite their minority status, continues to assert their presence and challenge narratives that they perceive as diminishing their influence.
