NDC's leadership reshuffle has paid off - Asiedu Nketiah
Ajumako Enyan Essiam, Ghana - Nov 21, 2024 - National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah is standing firm on the party's decision to shake up its parliamentary leadership. The move, which replaced veteran MPs Haruna Iddrisu, James Klutse Avedzi, and Muntaka Mubarak with fresh faces, sparked intense debate earlier this year. Critics labeled it ill-timed, given the looming 2024 general elections.
However, Asiedu Nketiah insists this strategic overhaul has breathed new life into the party. Addressing supporters at a campaign rally in Ajumako Enyan Essiam, he emphasized that the initial backlash has given way to positive outcomes.
“When we made the changes in Parliament, did you see the criticisms that followed? Everyone was picking on me. But we stood firm because we saw something better in the new leaders. If you were to sack the new leaders we brought in, would you do that? I know you won’t because they have proven it.
“We thank God for opening our eyes. The old leaders have done their part, but it was a relay race. When an athlete gets tired, he hands over the baton.
“So, we handed over the baton to Ato Forson, and he did not disappoint us. We don’t regret it either. He has made the party more attractive,” he said.
