This call comes as the group celebrates its eighth anniversary of promoting women's rights and community development across Ghana.
Since its establishment in 2016, the Loyal Ladies have been instrumental in driving socio-economic initiatives and empowering women at the grassroots level.
Through training, advocacy, and the provision of micro-grants, the group has empowered women to pursue entrepreneurship and improve their family's livelihood.
Their efforts have not only highlighted societal issues but have also actively contributed to the socio-economic upliftment of women across the nation.
Central to their anniversary celebration is the group's endorsement of increasing female representation in higher political offices, including the vice presidency.
They see the nomination of a woman for the vice-presidential candidacy as a significant milestone in the party's history and a powerful affirmation of the pivotal role women have played in shaping its success.
While acknowledging the progress made in appointing women to high-ranking positions under NPP governments, such as Chief of Staff and Chief Justice, the Loyal Ladies believe that more can be done.
They remain committed to advancing the rights and opportunities of women across Ghana, championing empowerment, equality, and progress.
As Ghana approaches another election, the Loyal Ladies continue their mission to advocate for women's rights and equal opportunities. They envision a nation where every woman can thrive and contribute to a brighter tomorrow.
