Agalga is tough but lacks leadership experience for Majority Leader role — Nitiwul

Former Defence Minister has said the Builsa North MP James Agalga who is the leading contender to become the next Majority Leader of Parliament, lacks the leadership experience required for his new role and must quickly adapt if he is to succeed in managing government business in Parliament.

Builsa North Member of Parliament James Agalga is the leading contender to become the next Majority Leader of Parliament following Mahama Ayariga’s appointment to President John Dramani Mahama’s cabinet, sources within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus have told MyJoyOnline.

He explained that several senior Members of Parliament, including Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, former Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Patricia Appiagyei and Habib Iddrisu, had spent years in leadership positions and therefore possessed valuable experience.
