Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu has said information circulating on social media that he is oppose to the candidature of former President John Mahama’s bid to lead the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is not true.
According to the Minority Leader he has not issued a statement to that effect, neither had he instructed any one to issue a statement on his behalf.
He further added that the objective of the purported statement is to create disaffection with the NDC and the unity with the Minority caucus.
And urged the public to treat the statement with contempt it deserves in a statement issue by the Minority Leader.
“My primary objective as the Minority Leader is to lead the group to support the leadership of the party in its effort to mend out differences and unify the rank and file of the party following the 2016 election defeat”.
We have to build a strong opposition to the ruling government and therefore it would be odd to openly oppose to or in support of any of the candidate biding to lead our party in election 2020, he lamented.
“As a leader of the Minority Caucus I remain neutral in the process of electing a flag bearer for our grate party and I pledge to respect the will of the delegates and to support whoever emerges as the eventual winner.”
