Haruna Iddrisu, the former Minority Leader, lives a modest life and is easily approachable by his constituents whenever he visits.
He is often seen playing soccer with the youth and riding motorcycles and bicycles, surprising those who do not know this side of him. He frequently engages in indoor games like "Oware" with locals in various neighborhoods, a custom he practiced even before becoming a legislator.
Additionally, he attends social functions as a regular guest and allows his constituents to meet and interact with him, strengthening his bond with them.
As a result, he is highly regarded by residents and has a significant following in the Northern Region and beyond, with some political experts suggesting that he is an entire course in politics that should be taught in schools.
A photo of Haruna Iddrisu and his colleague MP for Tamale North, Alhaji Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, went viral on social media, showing them breaking their fast with some constituents.
Unlike other politicians who create "human walls" around themselves, the two men were seen smiling and exchanging jokes with locals in one of the suburbs.
