My marriage to NDC’s Chief Biney has ended – NPP’s Afia Akoto

A former Deputy CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Afia Akoto has revealed she is no longer married to Chief Hamilton Biney.

In 2020, Akoto, a stalwart in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), tied the knot with Biney, who is a former Deputy National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The inter-political marriage raised eyebrows, with some members from both the ruling and opposition parties publicly coming out to condemn the union.

But after three years of marriage, Afia Akoto, who has declared her intention to contest the Okaikwei North Constituency seat as member of parliament, has announced she and Biney are no more a couple.

According to her, her opponents will no longer have anything against her, as the much-talked-about marriage, which was always used for propaganda, no longer exists.

“When I came at first, they were saying that how can we trust a person married to an NDC man, they didn’t know that the marriage had ended. After hearing that the marriage had ended, they are trying to find something different against me.

“They are always looking for something new against me but have you ever heard me saying something against them?” she told party delegates in the Okaikwei North Constituency.
