Former Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu has dismissed claims that the recent reshuffle in the minority leadership will affect his standing in the NDC and Ghana’s politics.

According to the NDC stalwart, his reputation and contributions to Ghana’s politics as well as the evolution of the NDC cannot be underestimated. He added that considering his reputation, no amount of internal wranglings and powerplay can diminish his relevance.

He stated that his commitment to policy formulation for the benefit of Ghanaians will also not be affected by party politics.

The MP made this assertion when he filed his nomination to contest the Tamale South seat for a 6th term.

“I want to assure you that development within NDC will not diminish Haruna Iddrisu and my standing in the democratic politics of Ghana and in the democratic politics in the NDC. My contributions to Ghana’s democracy and even the NDC’s evolution are eloquent and profound enough for many,” Haruna Iddrisu noted.

He continued that “even the willfully blind will appreciate my profound contribution to Ghana’s democracy. I am proud of my standing, proud of my record in contributing to the public good of Ghana, whether policy or legislation or institutional development and growth.”

He further added that the Tamale South Constituency is the major contributor of votes to the NDC and expressed optimism about maintaining the trend.
