It is believed that Mr Aliu Mahama will provide effective leadership to the Muslim Caucus in Parliament in view of the confidence repose in him.
Mr Aliu Mahama is a popular face in Muslim communities in Ghana because of his father, the late Aliu Mahama who became the first Muslim Vice President of Ghana for 8 years.
As a lawmaker, he has also endeared himself to the Muslim community through some interventions and accessibility.
