Former MP for Kumbungu Ras Mubarak has said “the decision to appoint new party leaders in parliament won’t be reversed”.
“No amount of petitions and press conferences would change that”, he said in a Facebook post in reference to a petition filed by some minority MPs against the replacement of Haruna Iddrisu with Dr Cassiel Ato Forson as minority leader.
In the ex-MP’s view, it is “better we focus energies on winning political power and help build our country”, noting: “Prime Minister Theresa May and Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn moved from the Front Bench to the back bench” and the “Heavens did not break loose”.
“We can’t build a strong party with this entitlement mentality”, he warned, pointing out: “We have a duty to help Ato Forson and his team succeed as our new party Leaders in parliament”.
He said “in a time like this, what we require is maturity and not emotions and tantrums. We elected Chairman Asiedu Nketia believing that he and the team would take some good but tough decisions. They may be doing just that”.
Mr Mubarak said it is “important” to give Mr Asiedu Nketia and the rest of the team “the benefit of doubt, respecting the soundness of their judgment”.
To him, the signal the National Chairman and his team are sending is that “the NDC is different from the NPP. The NPP is the only party where non-performance is rewarded”.
“Have we not had cause to complain about the soundness of the decisions of the previous leaders and a need for changes ahead of 2024?” he wondered.
