In a recent interview on Angle FM, the former MP also said she is bringing fresh enthusiasm and energy to the NDC’s women’s wing.

“This morning, I’m giving you a clue. For the past two months, I have had a lot of consultations about my background, where I hail from, and how firmly I have stood over the years as a gender advocate when it comes to fighting for women’s empowerment and gender equality. I am bringing on board enthusiasm and energy.

“So far, so good. I just returned from Kumasi in the Ashanti Region after ongoing consultations, and intentions are very clear that, come December 2026, I will be contesting to be elected as the National Women’s Organiser of the NDC. I am fully confident in my candidature based on the consultations I have undertaken so far,” she disclosed to Saddick Adams on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

She also stated that her candidacy presents vast experience in understanding the well-being of women and gives her a voice to empower them.

“Most of my leaders believe that, considering the position of my party now as the only political party in the country, the NDC, we need a strong voice and a figure who is well-endowed with women’s understanding and who also has the energy to rally the women’s wing,” she stated.

Government appointee resigns to contest NDC elections

In a related development, YEN.com.gh reported that Christopher Ankou had resigned from his role in John Mahama’s administration at LaNMMA to contest the NDC Madina secretary position.

He said his decision is driven by a desire to serve the people and strengthen the party's structures ahead of the 2028 general elections.

This latest endeavour marked Ankou's third attempt at the constituency secretary role after previous unsuccessful bids in 2018 and 2022.
