This is the party that the odds are against, so it doesn\u2019t need it [the reshuffle]. It is needless so to speak, but I don\u2019t think it is a daunting task because if they really need to address this problem, let them bury their differences and there will not be any problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante further stressed that though the harm has already been done, it is still not too late to convene a meeting to unite the parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can still call a meeting between the party and the caucus and then decide. Once they do that, there shouldn\u2019t be any problem. Any problem that they find themselves in is different. It is true that they are in a difficult situation to go and campaign given the economic mess we find ourselves and some of them attributed to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante, says the confusion surrounding the reshuffling of the leadership of the Majority Caucus in Parliament was unnecessary.
