Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has affirmed that his caucus will push for a parliamentary vote on two ministers-designate who have yet to appear before the Appointments Committee.

He emphasised that the Minority remains resolute in ensuring due process is followed before any approvals are granted.

Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle on *The Point of View* on Channel One TV on Wednesday, 29th January, Afenyo-Markin revealed that the Minority had initially planned to subject three nominees to a vote.

However, he disclosed that one of them had since reconsidered their stance, leaving only two nominees under scrutiny.

“We had three that we were going to vote on. One has eaten humble pie, now we have two that we are going to vote on. They have not been vetted,” he stated, suggesting that concessions had been made in one instance while the remaining two nominees still needed to be evaluated.

Elaborating on interactions with the two outstanding nominees, he explained that one had engaged him extensively and demonstrated a willingness to address past concerns.

“I have relayed his engagement to the external stakeholders of the party. If he agrees to be a true gentleman, to acknowledge that he acted badly in terms of his posture, his public conduct, and his attacks on us—and he agrees that whatever he did was unbecoming of a decent politician—per the terms of the discussion this evening, if he is ready to do what he has promised to do, we go by consensus,” Afenyo-Markin noted.

However, he expressed concerns over the second nominee’s approach, indicating that their engagement had been less forthcoming.

“The other one met me, was being dodgy, trying to rationalise. We are watching,” he added, suggesting that the Minority would closely monitor the nominee’s actions before making a final decision.
