Haruna Iddrisu makes 'first public appearance' since replacement as Minority Leader

Immediate-past Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu was captured on January 29, 2023 engaging in sporting activities in Accra.

It is the first time he has been seen publicly since his replacement as Minority Leader in Parliament, a decision that has split the caucus he had led for six years.

Photos circulated on social media of the Tamale South Member of Parliament purportedly engaging in early morning excercise at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Later in the day, photos shared on Twitter showed Haruna interacting with players of Karela FC, a club that he owns.

He was also spotted at the Accra Sports Stadium later in the afternoon watching Karela play Accra Great Olympics in their Ghana Premier League fixture.

Unfortunately Karela lost the game by a lone goal to their hosts. It was the fifth defeat in six games for the Western Region based side.

Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Hon.Haruna Iddrisu met the playing body of Karela United before & after the game against Great Olympics.
