President Akufo-Addo To Scrap Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs – Reports

The Majority Caucus in Parliament is set to have a new leader following the resignation of Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the occupant of the role till February 21, 2024.

Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, who is exiting parliament after this session was reportedly forced to step down during a meeting at Jubilee House between the caucus and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to Starr News, the next occupant of the role will not double as Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, a role that Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu held by virtue of being Majority Leader.

Per reports that circulated earlier this week, Effutu MP and Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, would be named the new leader of the majority bench.

The reports attracted fightback from a section of the MPs who held a press conference to back Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s leadership.

New appointments to assist Afenyo-Markin are expected to be transmitted to the Speaker of Parliament later today.
