The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Efutu Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin has described himself as a “courteous” politician, contrary to public perception that he is full of himself.
Afenyo-Markin, who has often been tagged as a “controversial” lawmaker-cum-politician, said although he has been vilified on several occasions, he is never interested in bringing others down.
“I’m courteous in my manners,” the legislator told Bola Ray on personality profile show Starr Chat, Wednesday.
He added: “I won’t run anybody down. I have done politics devoid of any attack.”
Afenyo-Markin said he remains focused on his campaign for re-election and will help bring the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo-Addo to power.
Afenyo-Markin is a lawmaker for the Efutu constituency in the Central region. He was born on May 27, 1978 and hails from Winneba. He holds an LLB from the Buckingham University in London.
He also holds an M.A in International Politics and Security from the University of Bradford, UK. He is the CEO of Excel Courier Ghana Limited in Accra and a legal practitioner. In 2012 he obtained 19,062 votes out of the 26,764 valid votes cast to become the Member of Parliament for the Efutu constituency.
