Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV on 14 January 2026, Okyere Baafi said he does not believe anyone is currently scheming to remove Afenyo-Markin from his position. “I don’t believe that anybody wants to remove Afenyo-Markin for now, even though no position in Parliament is permanent,” he said. According to Agyapong, there are individuals within the party who are actively seeking the Effutu Member of Parliament's position as Minority leader. He said he has advised the Minority Leader to relinquish his position and allow those challenging him to take over. “If the NPP has a weak leader like Afenyo-Markin, then it is no surprise the party keeps collapsing,” Owusu remarked.
