Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu
As the NDC leadership prepares to reconstitute its Parliamentary Leadership for the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic, I write to lend my support to many voices of reason that have so far advocated for the retention and endorsement of the current Minority Leadership led by Hon Haruna Iddrisu.
My decision to publicly endorse the Hon Haruna Iddrisu led leadership is necessitated by the fact that retaining the current team in the face of our recent internal upheavals will promote unity and strengthen our front as we regroup to fight for power come 2024.
Any attempt by the leadership to yield to the calls of the angry grassroots to change the current leadership based on the events of March 3, 2021, and the unanimous approval of the Finance Minister will spell disaster for our party as the ripple effects will not only be felt in Parliament but even at the grassroots.

The Association of Women in the Media (ASWIM) says it is excited to, once again, join all women in the country and the world over to mark this year’s International Women’s Day.
A statement issued to mark the day, said it had noted with pride the outstanding roles women were playing to stem this pandemic, which had taken more than 2.5 million lives worldwide and continued to disrupt socio-economic activities.
“ASWIM salutes women who are at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, as front-line and health sector workers, as scientists, researchers, doctors, community organisers, journalists, caregivers and sanitary workers, among others,” it said.
