Foreign Affairs Minister, Mohammed Mumuni has rejected an offer from his party leadership to be nominated as 1st Deputy Speaker in the soon-to-be-inaugurated sixth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.After Alhaji Mumuni rejected the nomination, the NDC was compelled to replace him with Cape Coast MP and Deputy Attorney General, Hon Barton Oduro.Details of why the Kumbungu MP-elect declined the offer are not exactly clear, but insiders say he was unhappy he was being asked to serve under Edward Doe Adjaho, who has been nominated by the NDC leadership to become the next Speaker of Parliament."Hon Mumuni sees Hon Adjaho as his junior and more so he seems to believe that the position of Deputy Speaker is inferior to the post of both Foreign Affairs Minister and former Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2004 elections," a senior party source told CitiNews on Saturday.At a meeting today with NDC MPs-elect, who will serve in the next Parliament, the NDC leadership announced its list of nominees for various leadership positions on the Majority front bench to the soon-to-be Majority.Alhaji Mumuni was not immediately available for comment.Below are details of the list discussed and agreed to at the meeting.MP-elect for Akatsi South, Doe Adjaho, -- Speaker,MP-elect for Cape Coast North, Barton Oduro -- 1st Deputy SpeakerMP-elect for Nandom, Ben Kumbour- Majority LeaderMP-elect for Ashiaman Alfred Agbeshie,- Deputy Majority LeaderMP-elect for Asawasi, Mohammed Muntaka, - Majority Chief WhipMP-elect for Savelugu, Mary Boforo- 1st Deputy Majority Chief WhipMP-elect for Bodi- Sampson Ahi, - 2nd Deputy Majority Chief Whip.
