The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation and Member of Parliament (MP) for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has expressed her readiness to serve as a running mate if selected.
Owusu-Ekuful is in contention for the running mate position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), alongside other candidates such as Energy Minister Mathew Opoku Prempeh.
Despite her qualifications, the Communications Minister emphasized that she will not lobby for the position.
“This position is not something we lobby for. If women are running affairs, it’s not bad. I love working and doing every job assigned to me. I won’t go begging, but when I get the chance, I will do it and do it nicely,” she said on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on Thursday.
She continued, “For now, I am a Minister and an MP and doing my job very well. If they mention my name to go and do another job, I will do it gladly, but for now, I have to concentrate on what I have been assigned to do.”
