Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang's actions toward Chairman Wontumi following her attack on live radio

Human rights violations have been increasing on the same platform, despite the fact that the media has been a convenient way for politicians to reach voters and the public.

Perhaps as a result of stigmatization or cultural impediments, women's participation and involvement in Ghanaian politics have not received much attention or recognition. Even those who make an effort to remove the current and dominant hurdles, however, frequently run into more difficult issues along the way.

Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang is among the courageous and powerful women who are paving the way for Ghanaian women to have a bright future in politics. Because of her charm, maturity, and emotional intelligence, she can skillfully adjust to the machismo that accompanies the current political tendencies.

For example, before the 2020 general elections, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, declared on live radio (Wontumi radio) that Professor Jane is "ugly" and "witch."

After learning of this, Professor Jane did not take offense but instead advocated for reforms against men who verbally or generally mistreat women for political reasons. A number of female activists loudly denounced Wontumi's move, and because some males also opposed it, the fight for women's rights in Ghana was won.

Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang's selection as the National Democratic Congress' running mate helped them win a significant majority in Ghana's Central Region legislative elections.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the current leader of the majority caucus in Parliament, also criticized Prof. Jane's age and personality this year, casting doubt on the future of women's participation in Ghanaian politics.

He stated: "Even if you look at his running companion selection, he was unable to find someone who could be said to be making plans for the future. We don't have a succession plan, and the individual is above 70. Their government will be in trouble from day one. They went to the Education Ministry to select the elderly woman who was unable to perform.
