Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has emphasized that his primary focus is on community development, particularly in rural areas, and not on using his contributions for political ambitions.
Afenyo-Markin, who was warmly welcomed by the chiefs and people of Tsiame in the Volta Region, made the statement during a visit to support the community as part of his empowerment initiative for young women.
The legislator donated sewing machines and hair dryers to the residents of Tsiame, clarifying that his mission was purely developmental and not politically motivated.
He dismissed rumours suggesting he intends to contest as an independent candidate or as MP for Keta in the Volta Region.
“My interest is to empower people and support development, not to pursue political positions in this area. Community growth must go beyond political partisanship,” Afenyo-Markin stressed.
Togbui Shikabli, Chief of Tsiame, and Mamaga Mashagadi, Queen Mother of Tsiame, expressed gratitude for his gesture and praised him for remembering his roots.
Also present at the event was the Member of Parliament for Keta, Kwame Gakpey, alongside other key members of the community.
