Profile of Maa Lydia, Agyarko’s widow and Ayawaso West Wuogon NPP parliamentary candidate

This is the profile of Madam Lydia Alhassan, widow of late Emmanuel Boakye Agyarko who yesterday December 29, 2018, won as parliamentary candidate for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency of the Greater Accra Region as reported by MyNewsGh.com.

She beat four other contenders by a landslide and emerged victorious announcing various interventions she intends putting in place to empower ward coordinators in the area economically even before the by-election.

Many have argued she is not really known in politics and perhaps is a novice but it is gathered that she has been an integral part of the NPP in the constituency and extended her tentacles to improve the fortunes of the party in the Volta Region where she hails from.

Madam Lydia Alhassan affectionately called Maa Lydia holds an MBA Marketing from the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS, Legon) and Bachelor of Administration (B.A Entrepreneurship?) from Ghana the Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
