Mahama Ayariga, George Ricketts Hagan, Rockson Dafeamekpor take over leadership of Parliament

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially announced the new majority leadership in Parliament. This announcement was made through a press release dated 23rd January 2025.

The new leadership positions are held by Hon. Mahama Ayariga, MP for Bawku Central as the Majority Leader, Hon. George Kweku Ricketts-Hagan, MP for Cape Coast South as the Deputy Majority Leader, Hon. Rockson-Nelson Kwami Etse Dafeamekpor, MP for South Dayi as Majority Chief Whip, Hon. Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe, MP for Ada as First Deputy Majority Whip and Hon. Richard Acheampong, MP for Bia East as Second Deputy Majority Whip.

According to the party, this selection was finally concluded after extensive deliberation between the party and the majority caucus in Parliament while adhering to all legal frameworks and
established parliamentary practices.

The party added that this decision underscores their commitment to upholding the principles of effective representation and leadership in Parliament.

This development falls in line to close the gaps in leadership created after the appointment of former Majority leader, Dr. Ato Forson for the Ministry of Finance and former majority chief whip, Mr. Kwame Governs Agbodza for the Ministry of Roads and Highways.
