Ghana's parliamentary speaker has criticized the minority leader's confrontational style, stating it bears no resemblance to his own tenure in that position. Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin responded to Alexander Afenyo-Markin's repeated claims of drawing inspiration from his leadership after the NPP's electoral defeat reduced their parliamentary representation to 87 members.
Bagbin recalled maintaining composure throughout his time as minority leader, with a single exception when former speaker Peter Ala Adjetey wrongly accused him during proceedings. After being denied the chance to respond despite support from the majority leader, he left for his office while colleagues continued legislative business.
The Effutu representative's frequent shouting and aggressive tactics represent a departure from the measured approach Bagbin advocated following the NDC's losses, according to the speaker's assessment during the parliamentary session.
