  • The Ghanaian businesswoman, who received 351 votes—second only to Michael Kwasi Aidoo, who received 666 votes—was the only female candidate out of five
  • Even though she faced financial difficulties throughout her campaign, Claudia Lumor stated that she is still dedicated to Ghana and the NPP

Claudia Lumor, the chief executive officer of Glitz Africa, was unsuccessful in her first attempt to win the NPP's parliamentary candidacy for the Oforikrom Constituency.

The style icon and business executive declared her intentions to run in the December 2023 Ashanti region primary for the Oforikrom constituency to unseat the current Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Marfo.

I'm humbled by the love of the community, our chiefs, Queen mothers, the youth, children, etc.....
I ONLY wanted to serve, build better structures , break the camps, and increase NPP votes in the constituency.
This wasn't a game to win at all cost, but rather a journey to serve.
My dedication was bringing hope to people and building innovative structures to better the lifestyle of the community.
