Former Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, has finally accepted the National Democratic Congress (NDC) decision to reshuffle leaders in Parliament.
The NDC firebrand and Asawase MP decided to let sleeping dogs lie after meeting with former President John Dramani Mahama.
In a Facebook post on Monday, February 6, the Asawase legislator thanked the former president for intervening.
“To all our supporters within and without. I had a lengthy meeting with my big brother, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, over the parliamentary reshuffle on Saturday evening. I want to, first of all, thank him for his words of advice and encouragement to me as a younger brother.
“His Excellency’s intervention has brought an end to all the brouhaha associated with the reshuffle. We are in the interest of our party NDC. We need to move on as a party and channel all our energies toward the 2024 elections.
“I thank all our chiefs, Queen Mothers Imams, and supporters for your prayers and solidarity. I pray for Allah’s guidance in all our affairs. Long live NDC, long live Ghana,” he said.
Last month, the NDC, as part of its restructuring, announced that Kwame Governs Agbodza would replace Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak as the new Minority Chief Whip.
This led to some differences over what the aggrieved NDC MPs described as a “lack of consultation”.
In the case of Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu, he was replaced with Cassiel Ato Forson while Deputy Minority Leader James Klutse Avedzi was also removed and replaced with Ellembelle MP Armah Kofi Buah.
Meanwhile, the party leadership is expected to meet later with all the Minority MPs to introduce the new leadership to them.
