Minority Leader and MP for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused powerful figures within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of pushing an agenda to remove key public office holders under the guise of government restructuring.
In a letter to President John Dramani Mahama titled “One Year After: Ghana’s Democracy at a Crossroads,” the Minority Leader reflected on developments since the December 7, 2024, general elections, which returned the NDC to power.
Mr Afenyo-Markin said the pattern of dismissals witnessed over the past year raises serious concerns about the direction of governance. According to him, the actions of the administration show a shift from national renewal to political retribution.
“First came the purge; thousands of citizens, working lawfully within state institutions and parastatals, were sent home without just cause or due process. Then came the unprecedented removal of the Chief Justice. Now, the top echelons of the Electoral Commission and the Office of the Special Prosecutor face the same fate.”
