NDC to ensure women hold at least 30% of political appointments – Mahama

The next NDC government will give 30 per cent of political appointments to women, when it is sworn into office in January 2025.

Former President John Dramani Mahama, Presidential Candidate of NDC, who stated this, said the party would work closely with women in the governance of the country to help speed up national development and progress.

“By 2028, we expect women’s participation to increase to 35 per cent and by 2030, a 50 per cent representation in parliament.

Again, we will increase the number of women in security services, public and private institutions”, he added.

Mr Mahama, speaking at the presentation session on the NDC’s policy proposition for women and town hall conversation in Kumasi, added that the party would continue to make good use of the Affirmative Action law, and deepen discussions to implement policies that would help improve the social standards of women in the country.
