Winneba market women choose Afenyo-Markin over NDC’s Naana Jane

Market women in the Effutu Municipal capital, Winneba, on Friday, 2 August 2024, abandoned National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang when she went there to talk to them about NDC.

Things would go sour for Naana Jane and her team as soon as the Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, who was billed to tour the place, was spotted in the market.

All the gathering with John Mahama’s running mate left her for Afenyo-Markin who interacted with the market women on a variety of issues.

What was more interesting was the fact that even market women including diehard NDC members who were in their party’s colours also left Naana Opoku Agyemang to follow Afenyo-Markin.

The entire market could be heard shouting “Show Boy! Alex Show Boy! Do the Do! Do the Do!” amongst other popular accolades they were chanting for their MP.

Embarrassed by the scenes in the market, Naana Opoku Agyemang and her team had to abandon ship as they left Winneba to avoid further embarrassment.

“What transpired in the main market of Winneba could only send chilling signals to the opposition National Democratic Congress that Effutu is a no-go area for the party, thanks to the Majority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin,” a member of Afenyo Markin’s campaign team told journalists.

“The Effutu MP makes it a point to visit these market women on market days whenever he is in the constituency. It was one of those visits that resulted in Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, otherwise known as, grandma, being abandoned by the market women.
