Mahama Ayariga has withdrawn from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) committee set up to probe issues arising from the Ayawaso East constituency, with former Lands and Natural Resources Minister Inusah Fuseini appointed as his replacement.
The change was confirmed by party sources, who indicated that Ayariga’s decision to step aside was taken in the interest of ensuring objectivity and public confidence in the work of the committee. Ayariga, who is a senior figure within the NDC and has played prominent roles in parliamentary and party affairs, is understood to have recused himself to avoid any perception of conflict or bias in the probe.
The Ayawaso East probe committee was constituted by the NDC to examine concerns related to party activities, internal disagreements and developments within the constituency. Its mandate includes gathering facts, engaging stakeholders and making recommendations aimed at strengthening party unity and discipline ahead of future electoral contests.
Inusah Fuseini, a former Member of Parliament and respected legal practitioner, has been named to replace Ayariga on the committee. Fuseini previously served as Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and is known within the party for his experience in governance, law and conflict resolution. Party insiders believe his appointment will add legal depth and credibility to the committee’s work.
The NDC leadership has reiterated its commitment to resolving internal matters through established party structures, stressing that the Ayawaso East probe is part of broader efforts to maintain cohesion and address grievances in a transparent manner.
The committee is expected to continue its work without interruption, with its findings and recommendations anticipated to guide the party’s next steps in the constituency.
