Unimpeachable sources within government have indicated that Mahama Ayariga,<\/a> Member of Parliament for Bawku Central<\/a>, is highly likely to be named as the new Majority Leader in Ghana\u2019s Parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exclusive information obtained by 3News<\/a> comes amidst ongoing deliberations within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the leadership structure of the majority caucus.<\/p>\n

The likelihood of Ayariga\u2019s appointment follows a decision to re-evaluate earlier choices for parliamentary leadership positions.<\/p>\n

Dr Cassiel Ato Forson<\/a>, who was initially named Majority Leader shortly after the NDC\u2019s electoral victory, is reportedly set to assume a different role in government after being nominated for Minister of Finance by President John Dramani Mahama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr Ato Forson\u2019s nomination was initially celebrated, but sources suggest that his financial and economic expertise is now deemed better suited for a role within the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n

Mahama Ayariga\u2019s qualifications<\/h3>\n

Mahama Ayariga, a seasoned lawmaker, has earned a reputation as a skilled debater and legislative strategist. As an MP for multiple terms, he has held key ministerial portfolios, including as Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, and Minister of Information.<\/p>\n
