About Barbara Quashigah
The NPP parliamentary aspirant is the daughter of the late Major Courage Emmanuel Kobla Quashigah (Rtd).
Major Quashigah was a soldier, politician, and statesman who served in various ministerial positions when former President Kuffuor was the head of state from 2001 to 2009.
The daughter of the late Major Courage Quashigah was born on September 2, 1986. She comes from Keta but lives in Accra
In her Facebook bio, Barbara Quashigah described herself as an International Business Consultant, entrepreneur, and a dedicated Philanthropist.
Before Barbara Quashigah competes with John Dumelo as the NPP's parliamentary candidate, she would have to take part in the party's primaries.
It is not certain if the former MP of the area, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, would participate in the primaries. However, Barbara Quashigah would have to face internal elections before December 2028.
If she emerges victorious, Barbara Quashigah would contest against the National Democratic Congress' John Dumelo.
Some believe she can win the seat, while others have encouraged her to step down since she will not be victorious.
