Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has assured to represent the collective interest of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“As a leader, it will be my duty to represent our collective goals with unwavering dedication and high integrity,” he said.
In a Facebook post, the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam MP said, “I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen to lead our illustrious and gallant caucus in Parliament. I thank the leadership of our party who have placed their trust and confidence in me. I am also deeply grateful to colleagues, the rank and file of our party, and the Ghanaian people for their profound support and solidarity”.
He stated that he had some discussions with the outgoing Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and praised him for his excellent stewardship.
“I have held fruitful and positive conversations with my senior brother Hon. Haruna Iddrisu. I commend him for his admirable stewardship when he was granted the opportunity by our party’s leadership,” Dr. Forson stated.
The NDC reshuffled its leadership in Parliament earlier this week, replacing Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu with Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle, also took over as Deputy Minority Leader from Ketu North MP, James Klutse Avedzi, and Kwame Governs Agbodza took over as Minority Chief Whip from Asawase MP, Muntaka Mubarak.
Several NDC MPs, including Dominic Ayine, MP for Bolgatanga East, and Murtala Muhammed, MP for Tamale Central, later described the leadership changes as undemocratic and deeply concerning, claiming they were not consulted prior to the change.
