Miss Abigail Afrankoma Gyimah
A Deputy Communication Officer for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Akwatia constituency, Miss Abigail Afrankoma Gyimah has encouraged young women to involve themselves in active political activities. She stated that aside from the fact that such actions from women put them on the ‘decision-making table”, it also gives young women the needed exposure they require to effect change in the society.
She said that women should not underestimate themselves in decision making since they have what it takes to also make the needed changes. Referencing the popular cliche “What men can do, women can do better”, Ms. Gyimah charged the women to get actively involved in the ongoing limited voters registration exercise and the upcoming parliamentary primaries within the political parties.
