Congratulating the vice presidential candidate of the party, Brigitte Dzogbenuku on her nomination, Dela told Pulse.com.ghthat the appointment “means a lot to women.”
“Brigitte is an astute intelligent woman who can actually think through problems. So having her with a businessman who also thinks through problems with that business lens and she is thinking through it with a feminist/entrepreneurial...she just comes with a multitude of all perspectives that I think will definitely complement what we know about Nduom,” Dela who also doubles as a Research Associate of the National Population Council said.
The former Miss Ghana, Brigitte Dzogbenuku was presented as running mate to the party delegates on Thursday at the party headquarters in Accra.
Dr Nduom earlier hinted that his running mate will be female. He believed his choice will give meaning to an “all inclusive” and “Ghana first agenda”.
Dzogbenuku won the Miss Ghana pageant in 1991. Even though she is a member of pressure group Occupy Ghana, she cannot be described as one who is actively involved in politics.
Brigitte Dzogbenuku is the manager of the Barclays Clubhouse in Accra. She also runs a non-profit organisation Mentoring Women Ghana (MWG).
Prior to this she served as the General Manager of Aviation Social Centre, a fitness and recreational centre in Accra, for twelve years and revolutionalised the fitness and training regime for Ghanaians.
This is the second time in a row Dr Nduom is choosing a female running mate for general elections. In 2012 he chose a former GBC Director General Eva Lokko for a running mate.
