The NDC Female MPs Caucus called upon all party members, supporters, and the Ghanaian electorate to unite behind the Mahama-Opoku Agyemang ticket.

The women MPs expressed their firm belief that the 2024 elections would mark a significant step towards achieving a more democratic, equal, and inclusive Ghana.
