No video or audio evidence links me to extortion - Afenyo-Markin

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has dismissed reports of audio or video evidence connecting him to extortion. He maintains he has served his parliamentary duties with dignity and responsibility. Afenyo-Markin acknowledged his appreciation for the trust bestowed upon him by the NPP leadership and elders. "I am not a perfect guy, but I won’t be reckless. I know what I have to do," he affirmed.

When confronted with claims that individuals possess videos or audio recordings that could tarnish his reputation, Afenyo-Markin categorically denied their existence. "Nobody has any video of me doing anything... Nobody has any audio of me doing anything to embarrass myself, my family, and the party," he stated firmly.

Afenyo-Markin emphasized that the allegations were part of political and social media maneuvers. As a politician, he understood that such accusations might arise. He recounted resorting to legal action to clear his name, expressing confidence that the courts would help dispel the matter.

During a recent visit by cultural troupes from Winneba to his residence in Accra on August 31, 2026, Afenyo-Markin spoke to journalists about the accusations. He remains optimistic about the judicial process resolving the issue.
