Francisca Oteng-Mensah is the incumbent member of parliament of the New Patriotic Party for the Kwabre East Constituency. Born on Valentine's Day in 1993, Hon. Francisca Oteng-Mensah was known as the youngest parliamentarian of the fourth republic of Ghana at the time of being elected in 2016.

She happens to be the daughter of Mrs. Joyce Oteng and the CEO of Angel Group of Companies Dr. Kwaku Oteng, who is a doctor and a businessman.

She was a second year Law student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology when she contested and won the 2016 election as the MP for Kwabre East Constituency. Before KNUST, she attended the Mamponteng Roman Catholic School, then to Revival Preparatory School at Breman and finally to Supreme Saviour International. She completed her Junior High education at Angel Educational Complex then went to St. Roses SHS for her senior high school education.

In the 2016 general elections, she managed to win by a huge percentage but it is yet to see if she will be able to manage such huge numbers in these years elections. These were the results in the previous election which guaranteed her the seat 71,757 votes out of the 86,611 valid votes cast = 83.08%. Others: Adams Iddisah (NDC) 13,673 = 15.83%, Grace Affram (PPP) 403 = 0.47%, Jahdilhaq Mohammed Mustapha (PNC) 364 = 0.42% and Emmanuel Boadu Osei (CPP) 172 = 0.20%.

Hon. Francisca Oteng-Mensah is contesting the seat once again in this year's election hoping to be re-elected for a second term and futune seems to be on her side considering the reviews she is receiving in her first term in office. Majority of the delegates in her constituency believes she is the right person to represent the party at the general elections although the party is yet to organise it's primaries. Twenty-six (26) out of the thirty-one New Patriotic Party (NPP) Electoral Area Coordinators in the Kwabre East Constituency of the Ashanti Region have declared their support for a second term for the sitting Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Francisca Oteng Mensah.

It has been suggested she will be going unopposed in the party's parliamentary primaries. A press statement issued by the party executives read in parts “The kind of leadership that Hon. Francisca Oteng Mensah is exhibiting in the constituency is one of humility, selflessness, representative and sensitive with the necessary competence to deliver the needful; her level of intelligence, coupled with her burning desire to empower the youth and women is a great testimony to the fact that, she again becomes the face of the Kwabre East Constituency in Parliament”.

Based on comments such as this alone, one can be assured that the young MP has got the support of the party. She has even got the support of the President who once made a pronouncement at a durbar of chiefs and people of Kwabre East Municipality of the Ashanti region at the palace of Mampontenghene, Barima Saasi Ayeboafo II on Thursday, October 10 2019.

The only thing that stands in her way now is the aspirants from the other political parties although the Ashanti region happens to be the strong hold of the NPP. The closest challenge at the 2016 elections managed only 15.83% so if that is anything to go by, Hon. Francisca Oteng-Mensah should be very optimistic about retaining the seat.
