This follows indications that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) plans to reshuffle its parliamentary leadership after President John Dramani Mahama nominated the current Majority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, as Finance Minister.
Mahama Ayariga, a seasoned legislator, is renowned for his deep understanding of parliamentary procedures and his ability to foster collaboration across political divides.
These qualities have earned him widespread recognition as a strong candidate to lead the majority caucus effectively. Sources within the NDC suggest that his appointment will soon be formally announced.
A longstanding figure in Ghanaian politics, Ayariga has held several ministerial positions over the years. He previously served as Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, as well as Minister of Information.
His extensive experience in government and Parliament is expected to provide the stability and strategic direction required for his new role.
In addition to his government roles, Ayariga has built a reputation as a persuasive debater and a skilled negotiator.
These attributes, combined with his institutional knowledge, position him as the ideal candidate to navigate the complexities of leading the majority caucus, particularly given its overwhelming majority in Parliament.
