According to the lawmaker, who is also the Member of Parliament for Effutu, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not allow an MCE to be elected in that municipality.
Speaking to party members at an event, the incoming Minority Leader stated that the NPP, despite the change of government after heavily losing the December 7 general elections, will still control affairs in Effutu.
"Listen, in the Effutu constituency, we [NPP] are the government. In Effutu, the NPP is the government because all the Assembly seats are for the NPP. We have the Presiding Member, and I want to tell the NDC that we are not ready to change this NPP government in Effutu. So, we are going to work together, and they shouldn't bother nominating an MCE. It won't happen! We control Effutu... no way, no way," the MP said to thunderous applause from the party faithful.
The Effutu Municipality/Constituency has remained one of the NPP's strongholds in the Central Region for some time now.
The MP, Afenyo-Markin, has occupied the parliamentary seat since 2013 after defeating the NDC's then Member of Parliament for the area, Mike Allen Hammah, in the 2012 election. Hammah once served as the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources.
If the NDC is dreaming of doing business with NPP, they should forget it. Even when they are dead , they feel alive . Here is Afenyo Markin threatening to shutdown an NDC Government . They are who they are! Smile to them at your own risk! pic.twitter.com/BhpaupC8sH
