Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Effutu and Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament, has been accused of attacking the NDC Vice Chairman for Effutu Senya, Abraham Ato Addo. These allegations have sparked widespread discussion and calls for investigations.
Reports indicate that Abraham Ato Addo is currently missing. The news gained significant attention after Kevin Taylor, a US-based vlogger, accused Afenyo-Markin of orchestrating an attack on the NDC official. Kevin Taylor shared an image of Abraham Ato Addo with a swollen face on social media, claiming it was evidence of the alleged attack.
In his post, Kevin Taylor stated, “This is what Afenyo-Markin has done to the NDC Vice Chairman in Effutu Senya. This calls for retaliation. NOBODY GO SLEEP FROM TODAY.” The statement, alongside the disturbing photo, has fueled tension between members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Effutu Senya area.
Kevin Taylor’s comments have raised concerns about escalating political tensions in the area, especially with his call for retaliation. Several political observers and citizens have called for calm and urged the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation to ascertain the facts.
In response, some members of the NDC have joined the call for justice. They argue that such acts of violence, if proven true, must be condemned and addressed to prevent further unrest.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has been called upon to intervene and investigate the allegations. A spokesperson for the police assured the public that they are aware of the reports and will take appropriate steps to verify the claims and maintain peace in the area.
Supporters of Afenyo-Markin have dismissed the allegations, describing them as politically motivated and baseless. They argue that Kevin Taylor’s accusations lack credible evidence and are part of a smear campaign to tarnish the MP’s reputation.
Afenyo-Markin himself has yet to officially respond to the claims. However, his critics insist that the lawmaker must be held accountable if found guilty of any wrongdoing.
The case has brought renewed attention to the rising tensions between the NPP and NDC, particularly in regions like Effutu Senya, where political rivalry often becomes heated.
The public is eagerly waiting for updates from the police investigation, hoping for clarity on the matter. Political analysts have also urged leaders from both sides to discourage violence and promote dialogue, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace as Ghana prepares for future elections.
This incident serves as a reminder of the need for civility and non-violence in Ghana’s political landscape. The outcome of the investigations will be crucial in determining the next steps and restoring calm in the area.
