“Don’t Be Happy; 2028 Is Uncertain and You Will Call Us for Help!” – Afenyo-Markin Tells Ahiafor in Fiery Exchange
In a fiery and dramatic moment that lit up the Ghanaian Parliament, Deputy Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin unleashed a sharp rebuke at opposition MP Bernard Ahiafor, warning him not to bask in premature political joy. His message? The political tides of 2028 are anything but predictable—and when trouble strikes, the Minority will once again turn to the Majority for help.
The tension in the chamber was palpable as debates raged over a controversial issue that had both sides trading accusations and warnings. But it was Afenyo-Markin’s statement—bold, stinging, and layered with political foresight—that stole the spotlight.
“Don’t be happy; 2028 is uncertain,” Afenyo-Markin declared, his voice rising with conviction. “You will call us for help!”
It wasn’t just a soundbite—it was a warning wrapped in political wisdom. The Effutu MP was responding to what he described as “overconfidence” and “short-sighted gloating” from some members of the Minority side, especially from Bernard Ahiafor, who had hinted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) might be heading for political defeat in the next general elections.
But Afenyo-Markin wasn’t having any of it.
“You can celebrate now, but remember, Parliament has a long memory,” he continued. “When the chips are down—and they will be down—you will come seeking consensus, and it will be this same Majority you mock today that you’ll need tomorrow.”
The clash quickly became the buzz of the day, with social media users and political commentators jumping in. Some hailed Afenyo-Markin’s words as a “masterclass in political realism,” while others accused him of sounding arrogant and dismissive of voters’ concerns. Yet even his critics admitted: the man knew how to command a room.
Bernard Ahiafor, known for his calm demeanor and legal wit, attempted a cool response, suggesting that the Majority was simply afraid of the writing on the wall. “The people of Ghana are speaking. If the Majority cannot hear it, they are only delaying the inevitable,” he said.
But the drama didn’t end there.
Afenyo-Markin reminded his colleagues that politics isn’t a sprint but a marathon—full of twists, betrayals, and unexpected alliances. He cited past political seasons when parties that seemed unstoppable suddenly lost ground, and those written off came back with vengeance.
“We’ve seen governments rise and fall. Never make the mistake of thinking today’s applause means tomorrow’s victory,” he told the chamber.
Political analysts say the heated exchange is more than theatrics—it reveals a growing anxiety within both parties ahead of the 2028 elections. With economic challenges, rising youth activism, and shifting voter sentiments, the road to 2028 is anything but clear.
Whether Afenyo-Markin’s warning proves prophetic or simply rhetorical remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Ghana’s political drama is heating up—and both sides are sharpening their strategies.
For now, the message is loud and clear: in politics, today's comfort can quickly become tomorrow’s crisis. And when that happens, as Afenyo-Markin warned, “You will call us for help.”
