During her speech, Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang thanked the NDC for selecting her as their running mate, stating that it was “an affirmation of your belief in the capabilities of the Ghanaian woman.” She promised to be dependable and duty-driven in return for the trust placed in her.

Professor Naana Opoku-Agyemang declared that if the NDC triumphs in the next elections, corrupt politicians of the Akufo-Addo administration will be held accountable for their actions.

To effectively tackle corruption, she underlined the significance of reaching a consensus and the necessity of giving institutional strengthening priority.

Aside from outlining the NDC’s objectives to assist women entrepreneurs, Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang proposed extending maternity leave and creating a Women’s Development Bank to help and expand women-owned enterprises. She stressed how crucial it is to give women the chance to prosper on their own.
