Cletus Avorka, former majority leader has urged the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to lose faith in having Haruna Iddrisu as leader of the Minority caucus in Parliament.
His comment comes after the recent chaos that has erupted among the Minority caucus, particularly with the resignation of Okudzeto Ablakwa from the Appointment Committee.
He told Starr FM that the NDC would be doing a big mistake if they replace Haruna Iddrisu.
“There should be no change in leadership of the minority, I will not advocate that. I think the totality of their performance is positive. Haruna and his people have done well. If you make the mistake of changing them, you divide the caucus. In the interest of the party and in the interest of Ghana Parliament, we don’t want to rock the boat. On the balance of achievement, I think Haruna Iddrisu has done well to continue to be the leader of the NDC caucus,” he said.
“Ablakwa’s resignation from the appointments committee is very unfortunate. He’s a gentleman, he’s a good MP but I don’t think resignation can be said to be the best. I’ll be surprised if more MPs resign from the appointments committee because we have met and ironed out our differences.
