Politics of Sunday, 29 March 2026Source: classfmonline.comTensions escalated on the floor of Parliament following a heated exchange between Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin and the Member of Parliament for Essikado-Ketan, Professor Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah. The confrontation occurred during proceedings on the Governance Advisory Council Bill, 2025, in Parliament on Friday, March 27, 2026, when Dr Ayensu-Danquah moved a motion for the bill to be read a second time. Her submission was met with strong opposition from Afenyo-Markin, who sharply challenged her position during the debate. The incident adds to what observers describe as a growing pattern of confrontations between the two lawmakers, with similar exchanges recorded during previous parliamentary sittings. As deliberations on the bill continue, calls are mounting for more respectful engagement and constructive debate to ensure that parliamentary discourse contributes meaningfully to national development.
