The Former Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak says the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament was never consulted ahead of the changes in the frontbench.
At a press conference, the Asawase legislator insisted the assertions that there were comprehensive discussions ahead of the move are false.
Addressing journalists, he said, “at no such meeting was there any agenda to discuss this.”
“It is clear that it is a letter, yes, was written by the General Secretary but the decision may just be just the decision of a few people in the party,” he added.
The NDC reshuffled its leadership in Parliament by appointing Ajumako Enyam Essiam legislator, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as the new Minority Leader.
In the shake-up, MP for Ketu North, James Klutse Avedzi, and the MP for Asawase, Muntaka Mubarak, lost their positions as Minority leader, Deputy Minority leader and Minority Chief Whip respectively.
They have been replaced by the MP for Ajumako-Enyam-Essiam, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, MP for Ellembelle, Emmanuel Kofi Buah and MP for Adaklu, Kwame Agbodza as Minority leader, Deputy Minority leader and Minority Chief Whip respectively.
But the development has not gone down well with Mr Muntaka despite a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, 2023, between the Minority and the party leadership to settle some differences.
The MP was in the company of Zebilla East legislator, Cletus Avoka who described the new appointments as premature and demanded the suspension of same.
