Former parliamentarians, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu and Haruna Iddrisu have been spotted shaking hands during The State of The Nation Address (SONA) 2024.

The duo witnessed what others have deemed as a controversial exit from parliament.

On February 21, 2024, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stepped down as the Majority Leader of parliament.

This decision was revealed during a crucial meeting of the Majority Group at the Jubilee House, addressing heightened tensions within the caucus regarding potential leadership reshuffling.In this regard, the party endorsed Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin as the leader for the Majority Caucus.

In contrast, on January 24, 2023, the opposition National Democratic Congress underwent a parliamentary leadership reshuffle. In a letter directed to the speaker, Haruna Iddrisu, the former Minority Leader, was replaced by Cassiel Ato Forson, the MP for Ajumako Enyan Esiam.

Furthermore, James Klutsey Avezi, the former deputy, was succeeded by Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the MP for Ellembele Constituency.

Kwame Governs Agbodza, the MP for Adaklu Constituency, took on the role of Chief Whip, supplanting Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, the MP for Asawase in the Ashanti Region.
