Speaking in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga said Ewurabena's addition to the House of Legislature has given the NDC a two-thirds majority to smoothly steer the affairs of the country without facing strong opposition.
He said the NDC will use its majority to work for the benefit of Ghanaians, bringing the needed reforms to reset the country on the path of progress and development.
"The NDC now, for the first time in a long while, has two-thirds of this House. Mr Speaker, with this number, we can do many good things for this country. We can carry out significant constitutional reforms to improve the country."
He said Ghanaians had given them all the numbers they needed to reset Ghana, adding that they would use them wisely and properly, and would ensure that the numbers were applied to the benefit of the citizenry.
"Ghanaians today have given us all the numbers we need to reset Ghana. Indeed, Mr Speaker, I want to assure Ghanaians that what President John Dramani Mahama said during his swearing-in still stands. The National Democratic Congress will not abuse the majority given to it by Ghanaians. We will use it wisely, we will use it properly, and we will make sure that these numbers inure to the benefit of Ghanaians," he said.

Minority protests as Ewurabena Aubynn sworn in
The Minority in Parliament staged a walkout just before Ewurabena Aubynn was sworn in as the Ablekuma North MP.
The protest occurred after the Minority was denied the opportunity to speak prior to the ceremony.
Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, had requested to address the House before the oath of office was administered, but Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga opposed, stating that any concerns could be addressed after the swearing-in.
The Speaker of Parliament upheld Ayariga’s position, ruling that the Minority could speak following the ceremony. Despite the walkout, the swearing-in proceeded as scheduled, officially inducting Aubynn into Ghana's Parliament.
