James Agalga tipped to replace Mahama Ayariga as NDC Majority Leader

If confirmed, Mr Agalga’s immediate responsibility will be coordinating government legislative priorities, maintaining cohesion within the Majority side and steering parliamentary business ahead of the 2028 general election.

Mr Dafeamekpor, who has served as Majority Chief Whip since January 2025, was widely regarded as a strong contender for the position due to his experience coordinating parliamentary strategy and managing legislative business.

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.
