The leadership of the Minority Caucus in Parliament has rubbished claim that it has declared support for the outgoing General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to become National Chairman of the party.
This follows a statement made by Ahmed Ibrahim, MP for Banda and Deputy Minority Whip at the launch of the election campaign of Johnson Asiedu Nketiah on Tuesday, 25th October 2022, to the effect that the NDC Caucus in Parliament was supporting the candidature of Asiedu Nketiah for the position of Chairman of the Party.
The Leadership of the Caucus categorically denied the assertions by Ibrahim Ahmed saying “That the Leadership of the Caucus never met on the matter and have not taken any decision on the matter;
“That the Caucus has not met and has not taken any decision on any of the candidates contesting any position within the Party;
” That the Leadership and the Caucus has no position on any of the candidates vying for the respective positions in the Party;
“That Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim’s attention was drawn to the matter and he has since rendered an unqualified apology to the entire Caucus.”
It has therefore urged the rank and file as well as the public to disregard the purported statement made during the launch.
“We further wish to urge all Members of the Caucus to refrain from making such comments in the immediate future,” the statement signed by Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu read in part.
