Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has dismissed claims by the Minority that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to push for constitutional amendments by securing an overwhelming majority in Parliament.

Speaking on Accra-based Joy FM on Wednesday, Mr. Ayariga described the allegations as baseless and urged the Minority to “stop raising false alarms” over what he called a non-existent threat.

He argued that the NDC already has the numerical strength to initiate constitutional amendments, yet has made no attempt to do so.

“As we speak today, with or without Kpandai, the NDC has the numbers to amend the Constitution, but nobody has proposed the amendment,” he stated.

“So if you are losing another seat, lose it gracefully. Don’t come shouting wolf when there is none.”

Mr. Ayariga cautioned that the Minority’s constant accusations could undermine their credibility and weaken public trust.

“Because you are used to shouting wolf when there is no wolf, you’ll get to a point where Ghanaians will not take you seriously,” he warned.

His comments follow accusations by Minority MPs, who claim the government is pursuing a coordinated strategy to create parliamentary vacancies in order to dominate the House and facilitate amendments to the 1992 Constitution.

Minority MP Oppong Nkrumah on Tuesday alleged a “premeditated plan” to force vacancies, likening the situation to what he described as politically motivated removals in the public sector.

The dispute stems from a December 4, 2025 letter from the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, notifying Electoral Commission Chairperson Jean Mensa of a vacancy in the Kpandai Constituency. The letter followed a High Court ruling ordering a rerun of the 2024 parliamentary election in the area.

Minority MPs have criticised the Clerk’s action as hasty and “out of place,” arguing that due process was not followed.

However, Mr. Ayariga insists the suspicions are unfounded and maintains that no effort is underway to alter the Constitution.

“I am advising my friends on the Minority side — there is no proposal to amend the Constitution. I don’t see any proposal on the floor,” he reiterated.
