Following attacks on the person of Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman, the party’s vice presidential candidate, female members of parliament belonging to the Minority group have come out strongly against the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
When Chairman Wontumi made disparaging statements about the good professor, it created a heated political atmosphere and sparked demands for greater norms of political speech from a variety of social groups.
Wontumi’s most recent assault on the party’s running mate was deemed unacceptable and shameful by the NDC women’s caucus.
The caucus urged the NPP and its leaders to refocus their energies on solving urgent domestic problems.
“Such behaviour undermines the integrity of political discourse and reflects poorly on both Chairman Wontumi and the NP),”
“We are committed to promoting a culture of respect, dignity, and equality for all individuals, regardless of their gender, background, or ethnic affiliation,” the statement concluded, calling for unity in denouncing such reprehensible behaviour and demanding accountability from those who perpetrate it. they added
The female Minority MPs also brought up the attacks’ recurrent nature, including a same occurrence that happened on July 10, 2020, carried out by the same person.
The MPs threatened to “advise themselves” if Chairman Wontumi did not publicly apologize to Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and all women in Ghana.
