The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah has entreated Ghanaians to desist from comparing the leadership of his party to that of the NDC.[ads2]
According to him, the NDC comes no where near the NPP when it comes to leadership management.
In a tweet, Mr Ahiagbah said “We told you not to compare the 2 National execs NPP &NDC. You see, the first act of NDC’s executives in charge has set their party on edge. How’d you rate the quality of this decision to change Haruna and co without engagement? The 2 can’t be same. NPP is better.”[ads3]
His assertion comes following an unrest in the NDC minority caucus after the party made changes to its leadership in Parliament.
A statement dated January 23 and signed by the General-Secretary of the NDC, Fiifi Kwetey, unseated Haruna Iddrisu as the minority leader.
The position of the Tamale South MP has been handed to Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam legislator.[ads4]
Emmanuel Kofi Armah Buah, the MP for Ellembelle in the Western region was also named the deputy minority leader, replacing Ketu North legislator James Avedzi Klutse.
Asawase lawmaker, Muntaka Mubarak, who was the Minority Whip, has been replaced by Adaklu MP, Kwame Agbodza.
However, Banda MP, Ahmed Ibrahim and Comfort Doyo Ghansah who is the MP for Ada have maintained their positions as first and second deputy minority whip.
The new leadership have been charged to recommend consequential changes in the ranking membership to the party’s headquarters for approval.[ads5]
