Mahama Ayariga, the new Majority Leader, has pledged to draw inspiration from past leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament.
In a statement, Hon. Mahama Ayariga acknowledged the leadership styles and achievements of his predecessors, including Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, Hon. Cletus Avoka, and Hon. Haruna Iddrisu.
“I am guided by the illustrious precedents set by former distinguished leaders of our caucus. Twenty years ago, our current Speaker, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, led us. Then Hon. Cletus Avoka, Hon. Benjamin Kunbuor, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, and most recently, Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson. Their leadership styles will remain guideposts.”
Ayariga reaffirmed the NDC caucus’s commitment to pursuing President John Dramani Mahama’s agenda to “reset Ghana.
He emphasized inclusivity, consensus-building, and national unity, vowing not to abuse the NDC’s numerical advantage in Parliament
“As President John Dramani Mahama has said, these overwhelming numbers will not be abused. 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 fulfillment of the dreams of our founding fathers. We will foster national unity, advance democracy, and ensure equitable development.”
Acknowledging potential challenges ahead, Ayariga expressed confidence in the collective ability to overcome them through collaboration and 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,” he concluded.
“If the government does not act – we don’t want any empty action but a comprehensive action that people will have confidence in. So this Parliament will have to constitute a committee to immediately visit Obuasi to get into this matter and ensure that the business community gets the assurances that the business community is safe to do business in all other places that there is violence.”He concluded.
