Ahead of International Women\u2019s Day, the NDC Female MPs Caucus described Professor Opoku Agyemang\u2019s re-nomination as a milestone for gender inclusivity in Ghana\u2019s political sphere.<\/p>\n

They underscored her outstanding contributions to public service, particularly in her roles as the former Minister of Education and a leading academic.<\/p>\n

They emphasized her dedication to the welfare of women, children, and marginalized groups in Ghana.<\/p>\n

The Caucus, at a press briefing on Thursday, addressed by the 2nd Deputy Whip, Hon.

\u201cLadies and Gentlemen of the media, we want to thank His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama for giving the female MPs and women in Ghana the best gift ahead of the INTERNATIONAL WOMEN\u2019S DAY by nominating professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang as the running mate for the great NDC,\u201dShe stated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They commended President Mahama for his commitment to inclusivity and for \u2018walking the talk\u2019 by investing in women\u2019s leadership capabilities.<\/p>\n

This, the Deputy Whip said, highlights his role in accelerating progress towards gender equality.<\/p>\n

The NDC Female MPs Caucus called upon all party members, supporters, and the Ghanaian electorate to unite behind the Mahama-Opoku Agyemang ticket.<\/p>\n

The women MPs expressed their firm belief that the 2024 elections would mark a significant step towards achieving a more democratic, equal, and inclusive Ghana.<\/p>\n
