There are indications that the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, could be appointed as the Majority Leader in the 9th Parliament, replacing Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, should Dr Forson be confirmed as the Minister of Finance.
Dr Forson, who currently serves as the Majority Leader, was vetted by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday following his nomination as Finance Minister.
If approved, Dr Forson may have to vacate his leadership role in Parliament to focus on his ministerial duties, necessitating the selection of a new Majority Leader by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus.
Mahama Ayariga's name has emerged as a potential successor to Dr Forson, who represents the Ajumako Enyan Essiam constituency.
