Haruna Iddrisu, the former minority leader of Parliament, has stated that he harbours no resentment over his replacement in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus leadership. Reflecting on his tenure, Iddrisu expressed pride in his service and reaffirmed his unwavering dedication to the party’s ideals.
Speaking during an interview, he described his time as Minority Leader as a “rare opportunity to serve” and emphasised that his decisions were always guided by the collective interests of the NDC.
“There were some decisions that you’re guided collectively by the party, and then we take a decision. But as I said, I never, never changed being changed as a minority leader. I don’t carry guilt in my heart; I had my opportunity,” he said.

Iddrisu highlighted his active role in campaigning for the NDC, citing dissatisfaction with the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) handling of the economy as a motivating factor. “I went out there to campaign for the NDC because I was convinced that, in terms of the management of the economy, I wasn’t satisfied with how the NPP managed the country,” he added.
The NDC recently restructured its parliamentary leadership under Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia. Cassiel Ato Forson, MP for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam and former ranking member of the Finance Committee, now serves as the minority leader.
Armah Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle, succeeded James Klutse Avedzi as Deputy Minority Leader, while Kwame Agbodza, MP for Adaklu, replaced Muntaka Mubarak as Minority Chief Whip. Ahmed Ibrahim and Comfort Doyo-Ghansah retained their positions as First and Second Deputy Whips, respectively.
Iddrisu concluded by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to lead and pledged continued support for the NDC. “I had the rare opportunity to serve, and I remain committed to the party and our collective goals for Ghana,” he affirmed.
