We’ll be responsible with our overwhelming majority – Mahama Ayariga

Newly selected Majority leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga has assured that the governing party will use its huge parliamentary majority responsibly for the benefit of all Ghanaians.

Delivering his acceptance speech on Thursday, January 23, 2025, Ayariga identified consensus-building and unity in Parliament to enhance the legislative process.

Even though we are an overwhelming majority, we will strive for inclusivity, consensus-building and deeply uphold the principles of probity and accountability in the fulfilment of the dreams of our founding fathers.”

The newly-appointed Majority Leader pledged to promote democracy and foster national unity while prioritizing equitable development across the country.

He recognised the challenges ahead but expressed confidence in the ability of Parliament to overcome them through constructive dialogue and mutual respect.

“The road ahead will not be without challenges, but I am confident that together, through constructive dialogue and mutual respect, we can overcome any obstacles and deliver on our collective vision.”
