    Changes in minority leadership cannot be undone – Fifi Kwetey

    The National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has categorically said that the party will not change its mind about changing its parliamentary leadership.

    Assertions that consultations were not made prior to the party’s decision to switch its leadership in Parliament have also been refuted by Mr. Kwetey.

    In support of the party’s choice to replace minority leaders James Klutse Avedzi and Haruna Iddrisu on Eyewitness News on Tuesday, January 24, Mr. Kwetey said that all significant party members had been consulted.

    Several NDC MPs including MP for Bolgatanga East, Dominic Ayine, and Tamale Central MP, Murtala Muhammed have described the leadership changes as undemocratic and deeply worrying since no consultations were held with the Minority caucus

    The former Majority Leader, Cletus Avoka has called on the party to immediately reverse the decision, describing it as unpopular and unfortunate.

    Some NDC party supporters in Tamale South have also given the party a 24-hour ultimatum to rescind the decision or face their wrath.

    But Fifi Kwetey in response said the decision has been taken and will not be reversed. He said the party will proceed with the leadership changes when Parliament resumes in February.

    He added that the party only had to inform Haruna Iddrisu of the decision and not consult him on his removal.

    “The leadership of the party at the highest level has taken a decision and that is just what it is. You cannot set up a precedent where decisions by the leadership of the party are now going to be an issue of the caucus. The leadership of the party in parliament is appointed by the leadership of the party. It is not something that is done by the caucus of the party,” Mr Kwetey told host of Eyewitness News, Umaru Sanda Amadu.

    The NDC in a letter to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, on Tuesday, January 24, stated that it had decided to replace Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu with Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

    Other changes include Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle who has been brought in to replace Ketu North MP, James Klutse Avedzi as the Deputy Minority Leader while Kwame Governs Agbodza has also replaced Asawase MP, Muntaka Mubarak as the Minority Chief Whip.

    Ahmed Ibrahim and Comfort Doyoe-Ghansah have, however, maintained their positions as First and Second deputy Whips respectively.
