The New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate for Bongo Constituency Diana Aburiya says she is poised to make history in the ongoing election in the constituency.
Speaking to the media after voting at the Feo Primary School, Diana noted that no woman has ever been elected Member of Parliament for the area thus, her victory will not only be historic for her party but also a significant step at bridging the gender gap.
“In this constituency, we’ve never had a woman becoming an MP. So, if for the first time, I win as an MP, it’s going to be a victory for all women. It’s going to be a victory for everybody in this constituency,” she stated.
While expressing dissatisfaction with the slow pace of the process, the NPP parliamentary candidate expressed confidence of winning the seat for the elephant party.
Since 1992, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has dominated the area, winning both presidential and parliamentary in every election.
But Diana Aburiya is determined to end the NDC’s dominance in the area as she is optimistic of beating Charles Bawaduah of the NDC.
