Haruna Idrissu's leadership had difficulties cooperating with the Speaker – Asiedu Nketia

 

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has disclosed further reasons why the party changed the Minority leadership in Parliament.

He said the Haruna Idrissu and Mubarak Muntaka leadership had difficulties cooperating with the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.

The former General Secretary of the NDC at a Press Conference in the United Kingdom said the changes became necessary because the Minority leadership was not working well together.

“Why did we struggle to get an NDC person elected as a Speaker of Parliament? There are certainly some advantages and those advantages can be tapped into when your leadership is cooperating with the Speaker. So we cannot have a situation where NPP leadership is cooperating with the Speaker, and our NDC leadership has challenges cooperating with the Speaker.”

“And if you are given a party whose leadership in Parliament is not working together, what will you do, you make the changes, or you resign, and I’m not about to resign,” Mr Asiedu Nketiah said.

The comments by the National Chairman of the NDC come after the Council of Elders of the NDC admonished aggrieved members of the party, Members of Parliament and party leadership to refrain from further public pronouncements following the change in Minority leadership.

In a statement issued on Saturday, January 28, 2023, the Council assured to come up with an early and principled resolution on the matter.

The NDC last week reshuffled its leadership in Parliament replacing Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu with Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
