NPP ladies dismissed decision of Hajia Alima as running mate Gabby
A main individual from the New Devoted Gathering (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has uncovered that endeavors by the then-competitor Akufo-Addo to pick a lady as his running mate was met with fights by influential ladies’ gatherings of the ideological group.
Saying something regarding the discussion that has welcomed President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s ongoing remark that there has not been sufficient dynamism in the sex equality plan of the nation, Mr Otchere-Darko said two gatherings; the ladies council of the NPP in Parliament, ladies coordinators of the gathering campaigned against the decision of Hajia Alima Mahama as running-mate in 2008.
He reviewed a ‘demoralizing and unnerving” second where two transports loaded up with NPP Ladies Coordinators from the nation over stopped before the applicant’s home in East Legon to campaign him against the decision of a lady as his running mate.

Mr Otchere-Darko’s Facebook post peruses: “A little awkward history to bite on. Me and my enormous mouth.
“When in mid 2008, the presidential up-and-comer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo, indicated to the forces inside his gathering that his best option for running mate was the Pastor for Ladies, Hajia Alima Mahama, the greatest composed resistance originated from ladies, essentially, two influential ladies gatherings: (1) the ladies council in Parliament (2) ladies coordinators of the gathering. Truth be told we woke up one morning with two major transports heap of Ladies Coordinators the nation over stopped before the applicant’s home in East Legon to campaign him against the decision of the lady. To be honest, it was debilitating and startling. Incredibly.

“In 2014/15, the equivalent presidential competitor put on the gathering’s plan how to forcefully guarantee that ladies are chosen for winnable seats. However, other squeezing intra-party issues at the time wrecked that significant move. I trust the gathering will return it on the table”.
Adding to a board conversation on the theme: “Force, Progress, Change”, at the Ladies Convey 2019 in Vancouver, Canada, last Monday, Akufo-Addo stated, regardless of the lion’s share being ladies in Ghana, very little political activity had been seen in their push for more noteworthy consideration in Ghana’s political organization.
“Fifty-two percent of the populace are ladies,” he stated, including that “these measurements should check, yet that will possibly happen when ladies sit round the table where the choices are made.
“On the off chance that ladies don’t, for example, put themselves up to be chosen as competitors, at that point it is hard to have a larger part of them as clergymen in light of the fact that at any rate half of my priests, per the Constitution, must originate from the lawmaking body”.
