The changes became necessary following the nomination of the former Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, as Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.
Speaking after assuming the position, James Agalga pledged to adopt a consensus-driven approach in leading the Majority Caucus and working with the Minority in Parliament.
He assured Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and the entire Minority Caucus that he would prioritise consultation and compromise where necessary to ensure Parliament effectively discharges its responsibilities.
We can make compromises as and when necessary. And I assure you, I’ll give it to you. I would reach out, I would consult, but at the same time, I would work to ensure that the Reset Agenda of our President is accomplished for the betterment of all of us,” he said.
