The campaign team for Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has firmly denied allegations that market women in Winneba shunned her during a visit.

Recent reports claimed that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang left the Winneba market abruptly after being ignored by the market women.

On Monday, August 5, the campaign team issued a statement dismissing these reports as entirely unfounded and fictitious, asserting that the incident was a fabrication by the reporter.

The statement highlighted the continued warm reception Prof. Opoku-Agyemang receives from the people of Winneba, urging the public to disregard the false reports.

"For the records, Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyemang on Friday had a very successful campaign tour of Winneba in the Effutu constituency. She visited market women in their shops and stalls at the Winneba market, and interacted with shoppers and lorry drivers, amongst others, amidst cheers and encouragement from the public.

"She also drove through some principal streets of Winneba and was given a rousing welcome."

According to the team, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang addressed a well-attended rally at the Winneba Lorry Station, where she discussed the benefits of NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour economy policy and the forthcoming Women’s Development Bank initiative, designed to support about one million women in business.

The statement clarified that the Member of Parliament for Effutu was not present at the market during Prof. Opoku-Agyemang's visit, debunking claims of a confrontation.

"At no point was the Member of Parliament for Effutu present at the same place and time that Prof Opoku-Agyemang was at the Winneba market," the statement added.
