Perpetual Ekua Lomokie, a former Deputy National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has thrown her hat in the ring for the position of the party’s next National Women Organiser, aspiring to be the youngest ever to occupy that position, should she emerge victorious.
In a statement declaring her intent for the role, Ms Lomokie, who is also the founding President of the vibrant all female political group, the Loyal Ladies, has expressed optimism that when united, resourced, and given the space to lead, the women in the party are the engine that can reimagine, correct, and deliver a historic win for the NPP in 2028.
According to Ms Lomokie, her vision for the role is simple but bold: to create opportunities for women across all levels of the party to thrive, contribute meaningfully, and rise to positions of leadership. She expressed her commitment to listening, learning, and leading with compassion, and to ensure that the needs, ideas, and concerns of women shape the future of the NPP.
To achieve this, she believes in the need to rebuild trust, reignite passion, and reposition the party.
Ghana’s voter population currently stands at 18,772,251, with females numbering 9,689,987 (51.6%) and males 9,082,264 (48.4%). The age distribution presents an interesting dynamic, as a significant 55.1% of registered voters — constituting 10,343,810 individuals — are between the ages of 18 and 35.
This, according to her, makes it imperative for the party to select leaders who resonate with the majority of the voter population, understand grassroots mobilisation, possess the skills to energise the party base, and, importantly, have experience in mobilising young women who are motivated and willing to go all out to help the party recapture its lost parliamentary seats, improve performance in strongholds, go toe-to-toe with the NDC in theirs, and win back key stakeholders such as students, market women, the middle class, and young women in the informal sector such as seamstresses and hairdressers, among others.
