Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) faithful not to wash their dirty linen in public.
The minority leader noted that everyone is free to support anyone they believe can lead the party to win the 2028 elections.
Afenyo-Markin is quoted by GHOne to have said, “We (NPP) are free to support anyone we believe can lead us to win in 2008, but let’s not wash our dirty linen in public”.
Also, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, in his Christmas message to party supporters, urged them to let their actions prove we’re ready for power.
He stated, “My dear patriots, the time for sympathy has passed, and the time for action has now arrived,” he said.
“As a party, we should have learned an important lesson, which is that unity is worth fighting for and sacrificing for. The pursuit of unity leads to victory. These lessons must now guide our conduct, choices and conversations,” he stated.
He said, “Time after time, observers have questioned whether our party is ready for power. Let us prove to them that we have an answer, and that answer is a resounding yes — not yes by mouth, but through our acts and conduct”.
“Therefore, as we prepare for our upcoming flagbearer primaries, let us treat our party and its traditions as sacred. What our forebearers put together with their sweat and blood, let no party member put asunder,” he added.
Meanwhile, A latest poll by the Global Info Analytics in December 2025 has revealed that the former Assin Central legislator, Kennedy Agyapong, has gained huge momentum in the NPP presidential race.
According to the Global Info Analytics, Kennedy Agyapong has moved from 18 per cent to 31 per cent in the NPP race.
However, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President, remains in the lead with 45% in December.
The poll revealed that Bawumia led the race with 45 per cent, Ken Agyapong with 31 per cent, with 11 per cent undisclosed and 9 per cent undecided.
The survey, which was conducted through a random computer-assisted telephone interview of about 3000 delegates, revealed Ken Agyapong made 13% gains on his November output, while Dr Bawumia moved closer to the 50% by 2 per cent.
With a little over a month to the NPP primary, the former Vice President will require at least 6% of the undecided votes.
However, for Kennedy Agyapong to clinch victory, he will be required to secure nearly all the 19 plus percent undecided and undisclosed votes.
An earlier poll by Global Info Analytics revealed that Dr Bawumia secured 47 per cent of delegate support and is the clear front-runner ahead of the NPP’s primaries.
Dr Bawumia continues to enjoy the confidence of nearly half of the delegates surveyed.
Kennedy Agyapong, the former Assin Central legislator, emerged second with 17 per cent of delegates’ support.
Dr Bryan Acheampong secured only 3 per cent of delegates’ votes, while Dr Yaw Adutwum and Ing Kwabena Agyapong secured 1 per cent of delegates’ votes respectively.
However, the poll revealed that a significant number of delegates, 27 per cent, remain undecided.
Also, the poll revealed 57 per cent of Ghanaians prefer former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the next general election.
