Coose Experience Over Experiment" – Prof. Opoku-Agyemang Urges Ghanaians Ahead of December Polls


The Vice Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has urged Ghanaians to prioritize experience over untested leadership in the upcoming December 7 general elections. Addressing a gathering of market women at the Koforidua Central Market on Wednesday as part of her campaign tour of the Eastern Region, she emphasized the importance of bringing back former President John Dramani Mahama to address the pressing challenges facing the country.


Prof. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted the need for seasoned leadership, describing the current government under President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as having led the country into economic and social turmoil. "Ghana is at a crossroads," she noted, "and it will take the experience and visionary leadership of John Dramani Mahama to lift us out of this mess and bring about the transformation we all seek."


Focusing on the NDC's proposed policies, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang outlined key initiatives aimed at revitalizing the economy and supporting market women. Central to these proposals is the establishment of a Women’s Development Bank, which she explained would provide financial assistance tailored to women in business. Additionally, she referenced the National Apprenticeship Programme, the Big Push infrastructure initiative, and the 24-Hour Economy policy, designed to create jobs for the youth and drive economic growth.


Prof. Opoku-Agyemang encouraged the traders and market women to cast their votes for Mahama and the NDC, assuring them that his experience and the party’s innovative policies would foster a stronger and more inclusive economy.


In a broader appeal, she called on the Electoral Commission to conduct a free, fair, and transparent election, ensuring that all political parties are treated equally in the interest of peace and stability before, during, and after the polls.

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely.
