National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, maintains that he has no regrets over the controversial leadership reshuffle in Parliament. The decision to replace Haruna Iddrisu as Minority Leader and Muntaka Mubarak as Minority Chief Whip was announced ahead of the 2024 general election, marking the first such major overhaul in opposition politics in Ghana.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express, Asiedu Nketiah insisted that the truth remains constant regardless of public perception.

He also dismissed claims the move was unprecedented, noting that every significant political development has a beginning. Asiedu Nketiah expressed that he would pursue what he believed was necessary for achieving results, even if it meant facing temporary opposition. He acknowledged Muntaka’s initial strong reaction, but admitted they now joke about the incident, highlighting their ongoing camaraderie.
