Ampem highlighted the crucial role of women in driving economic growth and stressed the need for an enabling environment to facilitate their full participation.

Bismark Tetteh Nyarko, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Upper Manya Krobo, echoed the importance of women’s involvement in politics and called for intensified campaign efforts in the constituency.

The campaign initiatives by the NDC women's wing included strategic engagements with traders at the Asesewa market and outreach to party branches in the constituency, led by a team including Rita Awatey and Tina Effah Boadi, both Deputy Regional Women Organizers for the NDC.
