Asiedu Nketia explains change in NDC's parliamentary leadership

We have since done elections in about 40, 000 branches and then from there we proceeded to the constituency level.

We are done largely with all the constituencies, we have done regional elections and we just completed our national election and the next is to look at our leadership in Parliament.

That is what we have just done,” he said.

Touching on the timing of the party’s decision and its intended effect, Mr.

Nketia stressed that the timing is in line with plans to fully prepare the party for the race ahead.

“In terms of timing, it’s in line with the way we are prosecuting the national reorganization, in terms of why?, what it tells you is that the only constant thing is change.

Since the environment is changing, leadership must change along with the new environment,” he said.

On what informed this new leadership, Mr Nketia said as the days of the elections get closer, the debates on the floor of Parliament will change to issues on the economy, infrastructure and energy, hence it is important they [NDC] put the best in those fields to properly argue their stance.

“We know for instance that going into election 2024, the economy is going to be the major battle ground and so many of the debates will focus on the economy.

So you better put your best man in economy forward that is what we have done.

“We also looked at energy.

You know the petroleum and electricity challenges, so we needed to settle on Kofi Armah Buah, our former minister to be the Deputy Minority Leader

“The other area is infrastructure , Kwame Agbodza  being our man in infrastructure  should play a key role that generally is what informed the changes” he added.
