A major reshuffle within the Mahama administration is expected to be announced today, Friday, August 7, with Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga set to receive a ministerial appointment and Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings expected to take up a new ministerial portfolio, sources close to Fishfmonline have indicated.<\/p>\n
According to highly placed sources familiar with the development, President John Dramani Mahama is expected to appoint Mr Ayariga as a Minister of State, a move that will trigger changes within the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s parliamentary leadership.<\/p>\n
The appointment is expected to pave the way for the selection of a new Majority Leader to steer government business in Parliament.<\/p>\n
Sources further indicate that Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, is expected to be reassigned to head the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology to replace the late Murtala Mohammed.<\/p>\n
Although the Presidency has yet to make an official announcement, Fish fm understands that a statement confirming the changes is expected later today.<\/p>\n
The anticipated appointments form part of what sources describe as a broader reorganisation of government intended to strengthen the administration as it advances its policy agenda.<\/p>\n
Mr Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, has led the NDC’s parliamentary caucus as Majority Leader since the party assumed office following the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n
Should his appointment be confirmed, the NDC Parliamentary Caucus will be required to elect or appoint a successor to coordinate government business in Parliament, making the Majority Leader’s position one of the key offices to watch in the coming hours.<\/p>\n
Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings’ expected reassignment is also likely to attract significant attention, given her growing profile within the governing party and Parliament.<\/p>\n
