The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus in Parliament has denied reports to the effect that they were supporting the candidature of Asiedu Nketia for the position of Chairman of the party.
The NDC members in Parliament were reacting to a statement made by the MP for Banda and Deputy Minority Whip, Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, at the launch of the election campaign of Johnson Asiedu Nketia on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, to the effect that the NDC Caucus in Parliament was supporting the candidature of Mr Asiedu Nketia for the position of chairman.
In a statement signed by the Minority Leader, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the NDC caucus categorically denied the assertions by Mr Ahmed and stated: “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; and that Mr Ahmed’s attention was drawn to the matter and he has since rendered an unqualified apology to the entire Caucus,” it clarified.
Consequently, the statement urged the rank and file and 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,” it cautioned.
