Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiah-Agyei Rejects ECOWAS Nomination, Backs Alexander Afenyo-Markin's Leadership

ACCRA, Ghana – July 22, 2025 – In a significant political development, Ghana's Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiah-Agyei, has publicly declined a nomination from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and, at the same time, reaffirmed her unwavering support for the continued tenure of the current Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

The announcement, made on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, underscores a strong show of unity within the minority front, particularly at a time when internal dynamics and regional engagements often draw keen attention. While the specific nature of the ECOWAS nomination was not immediately detailed, Appiah-Agyei's decision to reject it to focus on her role in domestic politics highlights her commitment to her current parliamentary duties.

Her vocal endorsement of Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s leadership further solidifies his position at the helm of the minority in Parliament. Afenyo-Markin, whose image was also prominently displayed in the public notice, has been leading the minority group through various legislative debates and national issues.

This development is likely to be perceived as a strategic move to maintain stability and cohesion within the minority caucus, especially as Ghana approaches future political milestones. Political analysts are expected to dissect the implications of Appiah-Agyei's decision on both the regional and national political landscapes.
