The Upper East Regional Women’s Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fawzia Abagnamah Yakubu, has emphasized that the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) performance alone should not be the sole basis for predicting victory for the NDC in 2024.
According to her, determination, focus, hard work, and vigilance are essential for the NDC to regain power from the NPP, which she believes has failed to fulfill its promises to the people.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Party’s Regional Women’s Wing Working Committees, themed “Effective Mobilization of the Women’s Front” in Zuarungu, Bolgatanga East District, Madam Yakubu stated that while the task ahead may seem straightforward due to perceived dissatisfaction with the NPP government, it is insufficient to guarantee an NDC victory on December 7, 2024.
The 47-member Committees, comprising various groups, were entrusted with the core mandate of supporting the Regional Women’s Organizer in coordinating the Constituency Women’s Organizers and engaging across the region to garner votes for the NDC.
“The NPP’s failure alone is not enough for us to conclude on an NDC victory come December 7, 2024.”
“We must win the December 7, 2024 elections convincingly at the polls to rescue this country. As women, we remain an integral part of this exercise, knowing the influential role we can play once we are committed.
“The new face of politics in Africa is women, and this is a call to duty we must stand up to in Ghana,” the Women’s Organizer told members of the various committees.
Madam Yakubu explained that the selection of committee members considered the challenging task ahead, focusing on individuals ready to collaborate as a team to achieve successful election results.
She emphasized the crucial role women play in politics, stating, “The new face of politics in Africa is women, and this is a call to duty we must stand up to in Ghana.”
Dr. Hanna Louisa Bissiw, the National Women’s Organizer of the Party, who inaugurated the Committees, urged Party supporters to unite with a common purpose towards the 2024 election, emphasizing the importance of the women’s front in realizing the aspirations of the NDC’s flag bearer, Mr. John Dramani Mahama.
Joseph Yamin, the National Organizer of the NDC, encouraged women to actively engage in public spaces, particularly market centers, with Party materials to propagate the NDC’s message. He emphasized the need to showcase the NDC outside party functions, fostering positive perceptions among the public.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by various political figures, including Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga East Constituency, Madam Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba, MP for Tempane Constituency, and Madam Laadi Ayii Ayamba, MP for Pusiga Constituency, among others.
