The National Women’s Organiser of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Hidaya Ibrahim, has officially resigned from her position within the party.
Her decision, announced through a press release on February 19, comes after careful consideration, marking her departure from both the role and her membership as of Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
In her statement, Hidaya expressed that her choice to resign follows extensive reflection on her personal political growth and development.
She highlighted her diverse roles within the PNC, including serving as a parliamentary candidate, Regional Executive, and, most recently, National Women’s Organiser.
Emphasizing a strong belief that the present moment is opportune for pursuing other interests aligned with her vision as a political and gender activist, she thanked the PNC for providing a foundation for her political journey.
Acknowledging the invaluable opportunities for political experience that the PNC offered her, Hidaya recognized her indebtedness to the party.
She asserted that the timing is right for her to explore alternative avenues to contribute more meaningfully to the politics and governance of Ghana.
While her specific plans for the future will be communicated to the public as the 2024 elections approach, she assured continued dedication to her role as a Youth and Gender Activist, committed to serving marginalized and underprivileged individuals in society.
“Effective Tuesday 20th February, 2024, I have resigned from my position as National Women’s Organiser of the PNC and further cease to be a registered card-bearing member of the party. I have come to this decision upon wide-ranging consultation and deep personal introspection as far as my personal political growth and development is concerned,” she wrote in a press release issued on February 19.
“Having joined and served the PNC in several capacities as a parliamentary candidate, Regional Executive and most recently National Women’s Organiser, I believe very strongly that this is the perfect time for me to pursue other interests in tandem with my vision as a political and gender activist,” she explained.
“It is never in doubt that the PNC offered me an opportunity to cut my political teeth as well as find a solid grounding in the national politics of our country and I would forever be indebted,” Madam Hidaya added.
“It is important for me to quit the PNC now in pursuit of my ambition to contribute much more meaningfully to the politics and governance of Mother Ghana. In due course, I shall communicate to the public my next step in politics as the 2024 elections draw closer. In the meantime, I shall continue to be the Youth and Gender Activist that I have been in service to the marginalized and underprivileged in society,” she added
