The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has altered its parliamentary leadership.
Haruna Iddrisu, MP for Tamale South, has been replaced as the minority leader by Casiel Ato Forson, ranking member of the finance committee and representative for the Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam constituency in the Central Region.
Armah Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle has also come in to replace Ketu North MP James Klutse Avedzi as the Deputy Minority Leader while Kwame Agbodza has also replaced Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak as the Minority Whip.
As First and Second deputy Whips, respectively, Ahmed Ibrahim and Comfort Doyo-Ghansah have continued in those roles.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the NDC, announced in March 2021 that the party was thinking about changing its parliamentary leadership.
“There is some work in progress. After every election, we reconstitute the leadership of Parliament even if it means reconfirming them. We haven’t done that yet because of the court cases. We started but got to a point and felt that we need to finish with the court cases first. So it is something we are considering. But there will be a definite statement. I am sure by the time, they [Parliament] return from the break, we would have taken this decision”
