NDC capable of managing emerging tensions between Haruna Iddrisu and Asiedu Nketiah - Dr Amakye-Boateng
Dr. Kwasi Amakye-Boateng said that recent exchanges between National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu are unlikely to cause any serious damage to the governing party. Mr. Iddrisu described President John Dramani Mahama's recent post-election engagements as the "proper" thank-you tour. Mr. Asiedu Nketiah justified the decision to replace Haruna Iddrisu and Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak as leaders of the Minority in Parliament ahead of the 2024 elections, arguing that the reshuffle contributed to the party's electoral success.
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah disclosed that he personally advised President Mahama to appoint both Mr. Iddrisu and Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak to key ministerial positions after the NDC's victory in the 2024 general elections. Mr. Iddrisu said, "I recall when the President came for his thank-you tour, not the other thank-you tour. I mean the proper thank-you tour, not the curtain-raiser one." Dr. Amakye-Boateng described such disagreements as a normal feature of political party dynamics. He said, "The issue of elections in political parties always brings these things that I call normal practice, normal divisions in political parties."
Dr. Amakye-Boateng argued that the NDC is an experienced political party capable of managing internal disagreements without destabilising the organisation. He said, "The NDC has been around for some time and knows how to manage these issues. I do not expect anything serious to come out of this."
