ACCRA, Ghana — Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has said his doctor has advised him to drop his court case against Sammy Gyamfi, citing concerns that the legal dispute is affecting his blood pressure.
Afenyo-Markin made the disclosure in a statement dated September 17, 2026, according to the statement shared in the accompanying report.
“My doctor has advised me to drop my court case against Sammy Gyamfi because it is affecting my BP,” Afenyo-Markin was quoted as saying.
The development comes amid an ongoing public dispute between Afenyo-Markin and Sammy Gyamfi, with the two Ghanaian politicians having exchanged criticisms over a number of political and public-interest issues.
Afenyo-Markin, who serves as the Minority Leader in Parliament, has been involved in several high-profile political and parliamentary debates in recent months. His decision regarding the court case would depend on the legal process and any formal action taken by his legal team.
Gyamfi, meanwhile, has continued to serve as a prominent figure in Ghana’s governing political administration, with his public comments and activities frequently drawing responses from opposition figures.
The latest statement places Afenyo-Markin’s reported health concerns at the centre of his decision to reconsider the legal action. However, the statement does not provide further medical details or specify the nature of the health advice he received.
The court case and the circumstances surrounding the dispute are expected to remain subjects of public interest as the two sides continue to navigate their political and legal differences.
