Women in the Brong Ahafo Region have asked the chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC), Charlotte Osei to honour Ghanaian women by organizing free and fair general elections.
The women made the call when they marked the International Women’s Day in Sunyani.
Drawn from all over the Brong Ahafo Region under the auspices of Redemption of Strong Tower Ministries, a Christian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), the women observed the day with prayers and pleaded with God to ensure peaceful elections in the country.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the group, Nana Yaa Abrafi, addressing the women, said Ghanaian women are lucky to have Ms Osei as the Electoral Commissioner.
“We have to help her organize free and fair elections to prove the world that whatever a man can do woman can do better.
She asked women to work diligently so that society would not look down on them.
Ms Abrafi said as part of the International Women’s Day, her group decided to pray and fast to ensure peaceful elections on November 7.
Speaking under the theme, ‘When Sleeping Women Wake, Mountains Move,’ the CEO said even though a lot of factors militate against the development of women, they should rise above the challenges and occupy their rightful place in society.
Some dignitaries, who graced the event, included Nana Asantewaa Kubi, queen mother of Dormaa who chaired the occasion and Rev Paul Amankwa of Action.
