Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, is highly likely to be named the new Majority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament. Apexnewsgh reports
This development comes amid ongoing deliberations within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the leadership structure of the majority caucus.
The likelihood of Ayariga’s appointment follows a decision to re-evaluate earlier choices for parliamentary leadership positions. Initially, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson was named Majority Leader after the NDC’s electoral victory. However, with his nomination as Minister of Finance by President John Dramani Mahama, Ato Forson is set to assume a different role in government.
Sources suggest that Ato Forson’s financial and economic expertise is better suited for a role within the Finance Ministry. This has paved the way for Ayariga to take the reins as Majority Leader.
Ayariga’s qualifications make him an ideal candidate for the position. As a seasoned lawmaker, he has earned a reputation as a skilled debater and legislative strategist. With multiple terms as an MP, he has held key ministerial portfolios, including Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, and Minister of Information.
Ayariga’s experience and expertise will likely be valuable assets in his new role as Majority Leader. As he prepares to take on this new challenge, all eyes are on him to see how he will lead the majority caucus in Ghana’s Parliament.
