Deputy Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin skillfully provided an opportunity for the two legislators to voice their grievances, paving the way for an amicable resolution to maintain peace. Subsequently, both MPs were captured in jovial moments alongside Mr Afenyo-Markin and Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, indicating a positive turn of events following the tense confrontation.

In a light-hearted manner, Effutu MP Sylvester Tetteh humorously suggested that the NPP presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong organize a reconciliation party for all MPs, evoking laughter among those present. The exchange exemplified a shift from conflict to camaraderie, symbolizing the restoration of harmony within the parliamentary setting.

Despite the initial verbal sparring and heightened tensions between Kennedy Agyapong and Sylvester Tetteh, swift intervention from fellow parliamentarians averted a potential physical confrontation. The involvement of Deputy Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo Markin played a crucial role in diffusing the escalating discord, ensuring the resumption of order and decorum within the chamber.

Amidst claims of financial disputes between the two lawmakers, including an alleged debt owed to Kennedy Agyapong by Sylvester Tetteh, the situation was defused as Mr. Tetteh maintained his innocence and suggested resolving any financial disagreements through legal channels.
