The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticized the leadership changes made by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in its parliamentary caucus on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
A former deputy Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has been appointed as the Minority Leader, replacing Haruna Iddrisu.
Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah has been named as the new deputy Minority Chief Whip.
NPP’s Deputy Communications Officer Ernest Owusu Bempah has said NDC’s change is suicidal.
Sharing his statement;
To remove Haruma Iddrisu who has been giving NPP nightmare in Parliament and to bring Ato Forson is a political suicide, they will be floored in Parliament. They have written their own obituary in 2024. It tells you the incompetence of the NDC, it tells you they haven’t got a clue.
Can Ato Forson match up to Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu in terms of parliamentary debate and knowledge? Kofi Armah Buah debating Afenyo-Markin? That is a political obituary, it is a political suicide for NDC.
Mahama comes nowhere near Haruma Iddrisu when it comes to political knowledge. He has won the hearts and minds of Northern region, he is one of the key pillars in the north and for you to get Haruma out to bring Ato Forso it means they have written their political obituary.
