Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo Markin has appealed to the Majority in Parliament to provide more opportunity for the minority to engage in legislative advocacy as Parliament resumes.
The plea was made during a leadership media briefing ahead of Parliament’s resumption on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, highlighting the need for greater inclusivity in parliamentary processes.
“We hold the view that in this meeting, the majority should be more accommodating; they must hear us. They must allow the minority to do more advocacy. We expect the Speaker to admit more and more of our motions,” Afenyo Markin said.
He noted that frustrations characterised much of last year’s parliamentary session, with motions frequently being declined, limiting the minority’s ability to contribute meaningfully.
“We think that the essence of parliamentary politics is to give every party stakeholder the opportunity. We look forward to much more engagement on the floor,” he added.
