Draman RasheedThe Executive Director of the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), Dr Rasheed Draman, has described the anticipated change in Parliament's Majority leadership as "shocking", warning that frequent reshuffles involving senior parliamentary figures risk undermining the separation of powers and disrupting legislative business. According to him, abrupt changes in parliamentary leadership have historically affected the work of Parliament, with some legislative initiatives losing momentum whenever key leaders are reassigned to the Executive. Dr Draman said leadership continuity is important to sustaining parliamentary reforms and ensuring that ongoing legislative work is not interrupted by changes arising from Cabinet appointments. Despite expressing concern over the transition, he said he was hopeful that the work initiated by Mr Ayariga as Majority Leader would be sustained under his successor. "That is how it came to me, but I hope what Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has started and has been championing over close to almost two years now will continue under the new leadership."
