Reports emerging from the seat of government Jubilee House, indicates Minister of Interior Ambrose Dery would have to pull his final strings in order to remain a Cabinet minister.
Credible information indicates Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor is set to switch to the Trade and Industry Ministry after serving briefly as a caretaker Minister.
Former Deputy Minister of National Security and Minister of State at the Jubilee House assigned to the Interior Ministry is set to replace the resigned Dr. Afriyie Akoto who is pursuing his presidential ambition.
Sources tell Ashantibiz there is heavy infighting ahead of the release of the list over internal protest regarding the continuous stay in office of Ken Ofori-Atta, Minister of Finance.
The President has come under severe pressure to replace his close cousin with Seasoned Accountant Albert Kan Dapaah but the President is reportedly not convinced.
Other proposals made to the President regarding proposed changes were accepted except the one requiring him to change Mr. Ofori-Atta as Minister, sources say.
The latest reshuffle will reportedly cater to the demands of various interest group within the party and the government who were left out earlier in the first term or were dropped after a short stint.
Persons such as Atta Akyea, former Works and Housing Minister is said to be likely to stage a comeback while incumbents such as Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is protesting to he changed to a more “juicy” Ministry.
Oppong Nkrumah had been reportedly eyeing the portfolio that finally went to John Kumah when the 2021 government was constituted.
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah is said to be prepping his CV for an ambition that is not yet clear in the party.
