Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has reaffirmed the resolve of the caucus to hold the government accountable, saying that having few numbers in Parliament will not weaken its determination to discharge its constitutional responsibilities. His remarks formed part of a broader message of defiance following the removal of the Member of Parliament for Damongo, Samuel Abu Jinapor, from the Chamber after he refused to withdraw an allegation against Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
