The John and Jane Powerful Women, a pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) group in the Upper West Region, says the choice of Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang as the party’s running mate for the 2024 general election is highly commendable.
It said the decision signified the recognition of the invaluable contribution of women to society, governance and national development. Madam Rehanatu Salifu, the convener of the group, who said this in Wa during a press conference, commended former President John Dramani Maham for nominating a woman of her calibre for the second time to partner him into the 2024 general election.
Mr Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition NDC, nominated Professor Agyemang, who was subsequently confirmed by the party’s Council of Elders and National Executive Committee (NEC).
Madam Salifu observed that the move also signified inclusion, diversity and progress which should be championed and promoted in the country’s political landscape.
Madam Salifu has called on all Ghanaians to unite and support her candidacy as a representative of their hopes, aspirations, and dreams.
She strongly condemned the attack by the Majority Leader, Mr Afenyo Markins on Prof. Agyemang, describing it as cruel, harsh, and unnecessary.
