Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te 13 o Noema 2017, i pootihia a Ryan hei Perehitini o te Whare Kaunihera, i wikitoria e 53 nga pooti ki te 11 mo te Kaunihera a Peter Whish-Wilson o te Greens. I whakarerea e ia ana tūranga minita hei tango i te tūranga. I whakarerea e tana tīmatanga a Stephen Parry i te Whare Pāremata i te wā o te
raru o te mana ā-paremata, i muri i te kitenga he tangata whenua takirua ia o te United Kingdom. Ko Ryan te minita o mua tuatahi o te kawanatanga hei Perehitini o te Whare Kaunihera mai i a Doug McClelland (1983<unk>1987), me te tangata tuatahi i wehe atu i te minita ki te tango i te tuunga. I riro ia i te tari i te 44 o ona tau, i tua atu i a Kerry Sibraa (e 49 ona tau) hei tangata taitamariki ki te tango i te perehitini.
