Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has told the newly elected New Patriotic Party (NPP) Central Regional constituency executives that Politics is a spiritual exercise.
The minority leader advised the newly elected constituency executives that Politics is a spiritual exercise and must not be done with the naked eye.
He further urged party members to remain united and focused on securing victory in 2028.
Speaking to the newly elected NPP Central Regional constituency executives, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Politics is a spiritual exercise; don’t do it with your naked eye. I repeat one more time. Politics is a spiritual exercise; it is not for the naked eye. Call on your God, and he will come to your aid at your crossroad.
May God bless our great party, the New Patriotic Party; may God bless the Central Region and may God bless our Homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong”.
In related news, Afenyo-Markin has said the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) does not joke with spiritual things.
According to the Minority leader, the NDC is powerful spiritually.
Speaking in a one-on-one interview on UTV, Afenyo-Markin stated, “The NDC do not joke with spiritual things. Don’t take them for granted; I am not a child, and my eyes see things. I have lived, and I know the world”.
In other NPP news, the Chief of Agric Nzema in the Ashanti Region, Nana Nkansah Buadu Ayeboafo, has slammed the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua.
The development follows the cancellation of constituency executive elections in three Ashanti Region constituencies.
It will be recalled that some days ago, the NPP cancelled three constituency executive elections held in the Ashanti Region after determining that the polls were conducted in violation of party rules and directives.
In a statement dated July 15, 2026 and signed by the party’s General Secretary Justin Kpdua, the party named Bantama, Afigya Sekyere East and Adansi Asokwa as the affected constituencies.
The statement disclosed that the election results had been annulled due to breaches of the rules governing the 2026 Constituency Executive Elections and, in some cases, the disregard of subsisting court orders.
Parts of the statement disclosed that the elections in the three constituencies were conducted “in flagrant disregard of party directives, the Rules and Regulations governing the 2026 Constituency Executive Elections and, where applicable, subsisting court orders”.
“The party wishes to assure all members that it remains firmly committed to upholding the rule of law, ensuring strict compliance with its Constitution and Regulations, and preserving the integrity, credibility and transparency of its internal democratic processes”, the statement added.
However, the chief, who is also the Chairman of the council of elders for Afigya Sekyere East Constituency and a member of the council of elders, has claimed Justin Kodua influenced the cancellation because of his personal interests in the affected constituencies.
According to the chief, no one would be allowed to conduct fresh constituency executive elections in Afigya Sekyere East.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on Thursday, July 16, 2026, Nana Nkansah Buadu stated, “When Dan Botwe was there, he was really working. John Boadu also defended the party, but this Kodua is only concerned about what will go into his stomach.
“If something like this has happened and the Steering Committee has discussed the issue, why didn’t they refer it to the National Executive Committee (NEC)? It is pure hatred and greed and this is something they planned to do”.
He added, “Kodua, I dare him. If he doesn’t take care, the things I will say about him will make him regret it. He came looking for money and not to work for the party. It seems he is afraid of Okatakyie Afrifa, so whenever issues concerning him arise, he defends him.
If they dare me this morning, they will see what I will do to them,” he said.

@ghnow_ Prophet Eric Uche-Boahen has weighed in on the political undertones surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, claiming that recent international political developments could influence the outcome of the tournament. According to him, Israel’s Prime Minister’s reported declaration of support for Argentina, coupled with comments attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump against Spain, may pose spiritual and political challenges for the Spanish side.
