‘The Two Musketeers’; Haruna Iddrisu, Mubarak Muntaka Left In The Cold As Mahama Names His 2024 Campaign Team

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has left seasoned politicians Haruna Iddrisu and Muntaka Mubarak out in the cold, opting for a new ensemble cast for his campaign team. This snub has turned heads and raised eyebrows, adding spice to the ongoing saga of NDC’s internal politics.

The General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, rolled out the red carpet for the new campaign team on June 19, 2024, as follows:

• Campaign Coordinator: Fifi Fiavi Kwetey (General Secretary)
• Deputy Campaign Coordinator (Regional Campaigns): Dr. Joseph Yammin (National Organizer)
• Deputy Campaign Coordinator (Parliamentary Campaigns): Richard Quashiga
• Deputy Campaign Coordinator (Special Operations): Chief Hamilton Nixon Biney
• National Communications Officer: Sammy Gyamfi
• National Youth Organizer: George Opare Addo
• National Women’s Organizer: Dr. Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei
• National Zongo Caucus Coordinator: Alhaji Cole Younger
• Head of Flagbearer’s Campaign: Professor Joshua Alabi
• Spokesperson, Flagbearer’s Campaign: Joyce Bawa Mogtari
• Deputy Spokesperson, Flagbearer’s Campaign: Beatrice Annan
• Head of Running Mate’s Campaign: Alex Segbefia
• Spokesperson, Running Mate’s Campaign: James Agyenim Boateng
• Deputy Spokesperson, Running Mate’s Campaign: Eric Adjei
• Representative of NDC’s Professionals Forum: Richard Anamoo
• Representative of the Cadres Front: Shine Gaveh
• Additional Members: Dr. Nashiru Issahaku, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, Mary Ewusi

Ensuring the plot remains thick, this team will be guided by a Campaign Steering Committee of veteran stars:

• Johnson Asiedu Nketia (Chairman)
• Fifi Fiavi Kwetey
• Dr. Ato Forson
• Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho
• Alhaji Hudu Yahaya
• Kofi Totobi Quakyi
• Samuel Ofosu Ampofo
• Dr. Kwabena Duffour
• Betty Mould Iddrisu
• Julius Debrah
• Marrietta Brew
• Dr. Valerie Sawyer
• Sam Pee Yalley
• Alhaji Alhassan Ligbi

Notably absent from this star-studded cast are Haruna Iddrisu and Muntaka Mubarak, the former Minority Leader and Chief Whip respectively, who now find themselves watching from the sidelines. Their exclusion has only fueled the flames of speculation that Mr. Mahama might not be their biggest fan.

While the NDC faithful are left to ponder the implications of this snub, Mahama’s reshuffled team prepares to hit the campaign trail, with the Party bracing themselves for a mega-battle with the ruling NPP on December 7th, later this year.
