Alhassan added that she was surprised the ladies in Parliament joined in, as it defeats their aim of encouraging more ladies to join the House’s leadership.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the minority side in Parliament boycotted her swearing-in, as a result of the violence that rocked the recently held Ayawaso West Wuogon-by election.
Visiting victims of the attacks, she added women who are members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), surprised her, as she didn’t expect such an action from them.
