The new leadership for the Minority Caucus in Parliament is expected to lead the minority side in the House today as sittings for the third session of the 8th Parliament commence.
The House went on recess for the Christmas festivities in December 2022 following the approval of the 2023 Appropriation Bill.
The new session will see the former Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu officially inform the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin of the new change in the House and hand over the leadership to Cassiel Ato-Forson.
As part of the leadership changes, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle replaced Ketu North MP, James Klutse Avedzi as the Deputy Minority Leader while Kwame Governs Agbodza replaced Asawase MP, Muntaka Mubarak as the Minority Chief Whip.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin would also be expected to admit papers, petitions, motions for debates and questions to be answered by sector ministers during this meeting.
National executives of the National Democratic Congress have however communicated to its Members of Parliament on the reason for the change.
Again, the Council of Elders for the party has also asked members of the house to work together and put the party ahead of them as they prepare for the 2024 elections.
