Who is Alexander Afenyo-Markin?
Alexander Afenyo-Markin is an astute Ghanaian politician who serves as the Member of Parliament for the Effutu constituency in the Central Region.
Born on May 27, 1978, the Winneba native had his primary and junior high education at the STC Demonstration Primary and JSS, later attending St Augustine's College in Cape Coast for his secondary high education and completing it in 1997.
Afenyo-Markin travelled to the United Kingdom to study Law at the University of Buckingham (LLB/MGT) from 2003 to 2006, before returning to Ghana and receiving a Barrister at Law certification.
He later enrolled at the University of Bradford in 2009 and graduated with an M.A. in international politics and security studies.

Afenyo-Markin began his foray into mainstream politics in Ghana when he contested for the Effutu parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 general elections.
In his first attempt, he defeated the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, Mike Allen Hammah, to capture the Effutu seat for his party.
The NPP politician later served on various parliamentary committees before assuming the role of Majority Leader in the eighth parliament on February 23, 2024, replacing former Suame MP Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, who later retired from the legislative chamber.
Afenyo-Markin's ascension to the top role in parliament was confirmed by the New Patriotic Party's National Council in a meeting chaired by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong.
Following the NPP's heavy defeat to the NDC in the 2024 general elections, the Efuttu MP was retained as the leader of the Minority in parliament by his political party.
