I am also deeply grateful to colleagues, the rank and file of our party and the Ghanaian people for their profound support and solidarity.”
The new leader singled out the outgoing Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, and commended him for his admirable stewardship when he led the caucus and assured that he’ll represent the colletive interest of the NDC.
“I have held fruitful and positive conversations with my senior brother Hon. Haruna Iddrisu. I commend him for his admirable stewardship when he was granted the opportunity by our party’s leadership.”
