Endear yourselves to Minority, House …ACEPA Director to new Minority leadership

The Executive Director of the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), Dr Rasheed Draman, has stated that the recently-appointed Minority Leader, Deputy Minority Lead­er and Minority Chief Whip have not been fully accepted yet by the Minority Caucus.

He explained that it calls for extra work to be done by the current leader­ship to endear themselves to the Caucus and the entire House.

Haruna Iddrisu, Dr James Avedzi and Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka- Mubarak as Minority Leader, Deputy Minority Lead­er and Minority Chief Whip respectively were removed by the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and replaced with Dr Ato Forson, Mi­nority Leader and his Deputy Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah and Kwame Agbodza, Minority Chief Whip which resulted in agitation among the Minority caucus.

According to Dr Draman, the reshuf­fle in the Minority bench was still haunt­ing the caucus and there was need for the new leadership to assert themselves in Parliament.
