The Appointments Committee of Parliament is currently reviewing two nominations, led by Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings and Mahama Ayariga. Dr Agyeman-Rawlings, a Member of Parliament for Klottey-Korle, is set to appear before the committee on Thursday, August 27, 2026. Mr Ayariga, the Minister-designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs and Majority Leader in Parliament, has already been vetted.

These nominations are part of President Mahama's administration changes and require parliamentary approval before the nominees can officially take on their roles. The proposed vetting schedule was initially presented to Parliament by Mr Ayariga as Chairman of the Business Committee. However, the Business Committee requested a waiver to skip the usual publication requirement, allowing the Appointments Committee to move forward with the vetting process without the typical delay.
