NPP has right to act, but no plan exists to remove Minority Leader Afenyo

Former NPP Chairman Freddie Blay has played down reports that party bigwigs are scheming to remove Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin from his parliamentary post, following allegations that he did not actively support Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during the party's fiercely contested January 2026 presidential primary. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Joy News' Gemma Appiah, Blay said he had no knowledge of any such plan and had not been consulted by anyone pushing for the Effutu MP's removal.
