The Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, has been appointed as the Majority Leader of the 9th Parliament of Ghana.
The Bawku Central legislator will replace the Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, as Majority Leader.
His appointment follows the nomination of Dr. Ato Forson as Minister of Finance-designate by President John Dramani Mahama.
It can be recalled that Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin had earlier claimed that Ayariga would be the new Majority Leader following Dr. Ato Forson’s nomination as Minister of Finance-designate.
