We Don’t Need Democracy Lessons From You - Asiedu Nketiah To Afenyo-Markin

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has criticized the Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, asserting that he is not in a position to lecture the NDC on democracy. Asiedu Nketiah’s remarks follow comments by Afenyo-Markin, who, during an interview on Thursday, December 12, accused the NDC leadership of intentionally obstructing the re-collation exercise at the Tesano Police Training School.

The Majority Leader had urged the NDC to respect the Electoral Commission (EC) and adhere to due process to facilitate the re-collation. But speaking at a press conference on Friday, December 13, 2024, Asiedu Nketiah dismissed Afenyo-Markin’s claims, arguing that the NDC had acted within its rights and that the Majority Leader was not in a position to pass judgment on the party’s approach to the process.

“I heard Afenyo-Markin, who has rejected the position of a minority leader, is now on his way to becoming a micro-minority leader, bragging that he belongs to a party of the rule of law. “Who doesn’t know the NPP? We in the National Democratic Congress do not need lectures from Afenyo-Markin about democracy at all. “Indeed, if there were any need for lectures in impunity, then we will invite him as a lecturer but if it is about democracy, he must shut up,” he stated.
