Here are the 8 women in NDC’s 33-member National Campaign Team

The role of women in politics and governance has been a focal point of activism and advocacy for years.

A notable example is the current push to prioritize the Affirmative Action Bill in the 8th Parliament.

As Ghana continues its efforts to have a female Vice President, which would be the highest political office held by a woman so far, women remain pivotal in major political parties.

In February, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) unveiled its national campaign team, featuring prominent women in various roles.

Similarly, the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced its 19-member national campaign team and a 14-member steering committee.

1. Dr. Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei- National Women’s Organizer will play a key role in the frontline campaign coordination wing.
