Former Minister of Education, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has expressed humility at her reselection as the running mate to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, for the upcoming December 7 general elections.

She regards Mr. Mahama's decision to partner with her again as a testament to his confidence in the capabilities of Ghanaian women.

Addressing an event held at UPSA to officially introduce her as the running mate to the party's 2024 flagbearer and presidential hopeful, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang pledges her loyalty and dedication to duty in return for the privilege bestowed upon her.

"My output, going forward, by the Grace of God, will continue to demonstrate what the world knows already, that women are also capable of high achievements; that we do so with that reservoir of strength, determination, and mental acuity that only those who are noble and far-sighted can comprehend and contend with," she added.She emphasized her commitment to demonstrating women's ability to achieve remarkable feats through resilience, determination, and mental agility.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang assures that, in the face of any challenges during their tenure, she will not resort to self-serving excuses, such as claiming to be merely a subordinate. As the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, she calls on NDC supporters to remain focused on securing victory over the governing New Patriotic Party, citing the urgent need to address economic challenges and mismanagement under the current administration.

She emphasized that the upcoming election transcends personal milestones or party victories, stressing the importance of restoring unity and integrity to Ghana.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang views the election as an opportunity to steer the country away from the brink of destruction, corruption, and despair, towards a future characterized by hard work, sacrifice, and collective nation-building.

"The election ahead of us is not about making history, although that is important. It is not about returning a former president back to power, or about producing the first woman vice president, historical and exciting though they are. It is not only about bringing the National Democratic Congress to power although that is indispensable in our current circumstances.

"It is about winning the elections for a purpose that goes beyond those enumerated above. The purpose is the opportunity to hold our country together, again; to heal Ghana; it is about the chance to pull Ghana from the precipice of destruction, of normalizing corruption, of incomprehensible greed, from deep despair. The election ahead is about hard work and abiding sacrifice. It is to embrace everyone in building a Ghana that functions, again," she explained.
