Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has appealed to the Majority in Parliament to create more space for minority participation as the House resumes sittings.

The appeal was made during a leadership media briefing ahead of Parliament’s resumption on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, where the Minority Leader emphasized the importance of inclusivity and balanced representation in parliamentary proceedings.

According to Mr. Afenyo-Markin, the Minority expects the Majority to be more accommodating in the new session, allowing room for robust debate and meaningful legislative advocacy.

“We hold the view that in this meeting, the majority should be more accommodating; they must hear us. They must allow the minority to do more advocacy,” he stated.

He further called on the Speaker of Parliament to admit more motions from the Minority, noting that procedural limitations in the previous session hindered their ability to contribute fully to national discourse.
