Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito, drags President Mahama to face ‘Elders’ for snubbing names he gave to him for appointment
A minor tension is brewing within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) as reports suggest a rift between National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and President John Dramani Mahama over government appointments.
According to The Chronicle, Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito, is reportedly unhappy after the president allegedly rejected candidates he recommended for key positions.
Party insiders claim that Mahama’s decision to bypass the chairman’s list has created discontent among some party executives, with a number of constituency leaders trooping to Nketiah’s office to express frustration.
The tension has now reached the party’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC), where Nketiah has reportedly lodged a formal complaint with the Council of Elders. In response, the Council—led by senior figures, including the Speaker of Parliament—has scheduled an emergency meeting to address the growing concerns.
Supporters and party faithful are urging swift intervention, fearing that any unresolved friction could deepen cracks within the NDC.
Many argue that Asiedu Nketiah was instrumental in securing the party’s 2024 victory, having crisscrossed the country to mobilize grassroots support.
