Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, is set to take over as the Majority Leader in Parliament, following the appointment of Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson as the new Minister for Finance by President John Dramani Mahama.
Ayariga’s promotion reflects his extensive experience and respected leadership in Ghana’s legislative space.
Meanwhile, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Special Aide to the former president, has offered her full endorsement of Ayariga’s nomination, congratulating him and calling it an exceptional choice.
In a post on X, she praised Ayariga for his sharp analytical mind and impressive oratory skills, stating, “A fantastic choice for the NDC and for Government. Hon Mahama Ayariga is sharp and has strong analytical and solid oratory skills and he will undoubtedly be a great Majority Leader. Congratulations my Brother, Godspeed.”
With a rich background in governance and lawmaking, Ayariga is expected to effectively guide the Majority Caucus in Ghana’s 9th Parliament. His previous ministerial roles, including Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, and Minister for Information, have equipped him with the skills necessary to lead the majority side and further strengthen their legislative influence.
