After a crunch meeting on Monday, February 6, Mr Asiedu Nketia said “The meeting was called by the Council of Elders, the National leadership, and our caucus in Parliament to announce a resolution of what was perceived as an essentially threatening crisis…

“You can see from the enthusiasm that the challenges that arose out of the announcement of the new leadership of our caucus in Parliament have all been resolved. All concerns have been addressed so we are just looking forward.”

The changes that were made resulted in sharp division among the opposition lawmakers.

For instance, Asawase Member of Parliament Muntaka Mubarak told national executives of the party that they could just remove the leadership of the Minority merely by writing a letter to them.

“If you cannot write a letter to appoint, how can you write to disappoint?” He asked at a press conference in Parliament on Thursday.

Muntaka was unhappy with the changes that have been made to the leadership of the Minority by the party.

He believed that the decision was made by a few executives although the statement announcing it was signed by the General Secretary Fifi Kwetey.

He added “We don’t want to create enmity among us unnecessarily, we believe that the right process should be followed.”

He further stated ” If the right process is followed we will be happy and thank them for the opportunity to serve. We hope that they will help fast-track the hearing of the issues.”https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-3177501661880531&output=html&h=280&adk=1426636056&adf=4189492169&pi=t.aa~a.829776362~i.27~rp.4&w=1200&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1675705472&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=2902914568&ad_type=text_image&format=1200×280&url=https%3A%2F%2F3news.com%2Fall-the-challenges-with-removal-of-haruna-others-resolved-asiedu-nketia%2F&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=1233&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEIgOeCnwYQvp_XwuOKla_SARI9AL0fUaE_pwOT-Za36Feaog5bIEpc6M2gPAFKFtpdz8XbEiA-Gl3GhYaHp0ffhqTtwJ4-8YnuqaY9r-F47Q&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiOC4wLjAiLCJ4ODYiLCIiLCIxMDkuMC41NDE0LjEyMCIsW10sZmFsc2UsbnVsbCwiNjQiLFtbIk5vdF9BIEJyYW5kIiwiOTkuMC4wLjAiXSxbIkdvb2dsZSBDaHJvbWUiLCIxMDkuMC41NDE0LjEyMCJdLFsiQ2hyb21pdW0iLCIxMDkuMC41NDE0LjEyMCJdXSx0cnVlXQ..&dt=1675708027221&bpp=2&bdt=1834&idt=2&shv=r20230202&mjsv=m202301120101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D9e4ec6228fa7def3-22daa51a95db0004%3AT%3D1675106160%3ART%3D1675106160%3AS%3DALNI_MbkFugc-eieb5_PMSD5U-o3sgihiw&gpic=UID%3D00000bcff9352330%3AT%3D1675106160%3ART%3D1675707775%3AS%3DALNI_MbuweOadanO3OlgXdBsfFmTMH3Fbg&prev_fmts=0x0%2C1200x200&nras=2&correlator=8292404484764&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1189165018.1675106239&ga_sid=1675708026&ga_hid=1502359417&ga_fc=1&u_tz=0&u_his=1&u_h=720&u_w=1280&u_ah=688&u_aw=1280&u_cd=24&u_sd=1&dmc=4&adx=32&ady=2100&biw=1263&bih=617&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759875%2C44759926%2C44759842%2C42531706%2C31071721&oid=2&pvsid=3143910813336927&tmod=1871270118&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2F3news.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1280%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1280%2C617&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&alvm=r20230201&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=BnVQjjl9y0&p=https%3A//3news.com&dtd=99922

Over sixty of the NDC Mps signed a petition to the party executives to reverse their decision.

According to them, the decision is unpopular for which they wanted it reversed.

Some of the NDC MPs including Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed expressed shock at the decision by the NDC to change the party’s leadership in Parliament.

Speaking on TV3‘s News 360 on Tuesday, January 24 after news on the decision broke, the Tamale Central MP said there was no consultation whatsoever with the caucus before the release.

“Every single Member of Parliament is surprised,” he said, “And I can tell you that even those who have been proposed to take leadership, some of them are surprised that such a proposal is made without even consulting them.”

He condemned the mode of communication, saying as an MP he got wind of the decision on social media like many other NDC MPs.

“That is not how things are done,” he fumed.

“The NDC is a democratic party. We have touted ourselves as the pacesetters of this democracy. The NDC gave birth to the 1992 Constitution for which reason we have all collectively agreed to chart the path of democracy.”

He, therefore, indicated that NDC should be the last to disregard democratic tenets and by making such a decision without consulting the group – or caucus – it affects, to him, smacks of disrespect.
