Speaker officially announces James Agalga as Majority Leader but Ayariga to continue occupying leader's seat
He, however, noted that Mr Agalga cannot assume the full title due to an error in the mode of communication of his nomination to the House. He will thus be in acting position.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has officially designated James Agalga as Majority Leader, though Agalga will serve in an acting capacity due to an error in the communication of his nomination to the House. Bagbin stated that the current Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, will retain his position until the party communicates the decision and the caucus accepts it.
This announcement followed the President's nomination of Ayariga to the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs. Additionally, Dr. Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings has been nominated for the position of Minister designate of Environment, Science and Technology. Other notable appointments include Kenneth Gilbert Adjei being reassigned to the Ministry of Defense, and Bagbin referring nominations for several ministerial roles to the Appointments Committee for further consideration.
