The Majority Leader and head of government business in Ghana’s Eighth Parliament, Mr. Mahama Ayariga says the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not use its overwhelming Majoritarian status to perpetuate wrong doing.
He assured the general public that his side will not abuse its two-thirds majority in the House.
Mr. Ayariga gave the assurance after the Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin had sworn in the Member of Parliament elect for Ablekuma North Constituency in the Greater Accra region, Madam Ewurabena Aubynn on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
According to him, although his caucus has a clear two-thirds majority, which allows them by law to undertake whatever constitutional reforms are needed, they will do so keeping in mind the caution from President John Dramani Mahama not to abuse their majority.
“With Ablekuma North Constituency seat in our grip, we now have two-thirds Majority,” he said.
The Speaker, Alban Bagbin, also cautioned the NDC MPs not to abuse their colleagues in the minority with their superior number.
“Allow your colleagues in the Minority to have their say,” he urged them.
The Minority in Parliament as usual of them staged a walkout when the House was about to swear in the Ablekuma North MP-elect.
