Global humanitarian group commends Dr Donald Agumenu's decision to contest Ghana's parliamentary seat

Dr Donald Agumenu's decision to contest for a seat in the Parliament of Ghana under the National Democratic Congress party has continued to attract praise and support from local, regional, and international quarters.

The latest is from the World Humanitarian Drive (WHD) - an international NGO based in the UK with operations in 12 countries.

Dr Agumenu is vying for the NDC ticket to contest the Ketu North parliamentary seat.

"Your decision to seek a seat in Parliament, we believe, will further advance your commitment to humanity and bring much needed leadership to your constituents. This will undoubtedly lead to good service, growth, and development," WHD founder and chairman Dr Abdul Basit Syed said in a letter to Dr Agumenu. "Your contribution in shaping the level of leadership and governance is so admirable and so is your passion."

Dr Syed recalled how the NDC stalwart had worked hard to bring a steady supply of water to rural communities across Ghana, resulting in an improved quality of life for those communities.

"We at WHD have unwavering confidence in your abilities... We congratulate you and wish you all the best in your endeavours," Dr Syed said.

The letter highlighted Dr Agumenu's consistent commitment to women's empowerment and gender quality, which the WRD chief said was critical to accelerating sustainable development in such communities.

"We share your belief that ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls has a positive impact on the livelihoods of humanity," the letter added.
