Minority reshuffle premature; suspend it – Some NDC MPs petition party

Some National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament have petitioned the party leadership over recent changes on their front bench in the house.

The legislators believe the reshuffling is premature and does not augur well for the opposition party going into the next elections.

Addressing the media on Thursday, January 26, 2023, at the behest of the NDC parliamentarians, MP for Zebilla East and former Majority leader, Cletus Avoka stressed that only a decision arrived at after broad deliberations will be accepted.

“The basis for our prayer is that, the party suspends the reshuffling as indicated by the General Secretary until such a time that a holistic meeting of stakeholders with consultations before a decision is taken.”

“It is on this backdrop that the national executives of the party a few weeks ago decided that all appointees in the party and parliament should remain in office till after we have concluded the parliamentary and presidential primaries

We are therefore surprised that the reshuffling is reaching the caucus in parliament

We think that this is premature.”
