Tensions within NDC MP ranks

YEN.com.gh reported in an earlier story that the former minority chief whip in parliament Muntaka Mubarak Mohammed compared the manner of his removal to a coup.

Muntaka said he only heard of the reshuffle of the minority leadership in parliament on the radio.

The former minority chief whip did not criticise his replacements but said the change could have been done better.

However, during a comment on the issue in London, Asiedu Nketia backed the controversial decision, citing budding animosity between the speaker of parliament Alban Bagbin and the NDC leadership in parliament.

The NDC’s Council of Elders appealed to all feuding sides to avoid public commentary on the reshuffle.
