Akufo-Addo nominates Lariba Abudu as Adwoa Safo’s replacement at Gender Ministry

President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has nominated a member of parliament (MP) for Wale Wale constituency, Hon. Lariba Zuweira Abudu as minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection.
This decision comes nearly after a week of sacking MP for the people of Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo who went awol for months and failed to execute her mandate as an MP and Minister after several attempts to coerce the legal advocate proved futile.
Lariba Abudu, born on 12th May 1966 is an Educationist and a first-time MP, will be deputized by the member of parliament for Kwabre West, Francisca Oteng Mensah after parliamentary approval in a vetting process.
The president is hoping the vetting process will be smooth so they can assist in the effective delivery of his mandate for his second term in office as they prepare to take over from Hon. Cecilia Abena Dapaah who has been playing a caretaker role since Adwoa Safo left for the USA.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament, Right Hon. Alban Kingsford Bagbin is expected to give a ruling on Adwoa Safo’s impeachment after she was reported to the privileges Committee and her subsequent failure to appear before the committee.

Over 300,000 young men and women walk with Alan

Over 300,000 dynamic youth and women groups joined Alan’s Movement for Change in a walk named Afrafranto, transforming the political scene in the Ashanti Region.
The mind-blowing revolution, which saw over 300,000 individuals from the youth and women’s groups board the MFC train, established Hon. Alan Kyerematen’s political class as the founder and leader of Movement for Change (MFC).
Alan Kyerematen’s Yellow Army political Revolution signified a dramatic divergence from existing standards in political support and is fast gathering steam ahead of Ghana’s 2024 general elections.

Sister Afia, Twene Jonas, and Oliver Khan ‘the ship salesman’ all took part in the big Afafranto Unity Walk, contributing their influence and voice to the campaign.
Their participation has not only increased the movement’s exposure, but also indicated a shift in support for Alan Kyerematen’s cause.
After working for nearly a decade in Ghana’s Trade and Industry Ministry under two separate regimes, Kyerematen’s decision to leave the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and join the Movement for Change was a daring and significant milestone in the country’s political landscape.

The Yellow Revolution has attracted broad notice and support, most notably through community-based activities such as the famous Afafranto Walk.
The colour yellow has become linked with this movement’s symbols. It symbolises a new approach to politics in the Ashanti Region, a departure from the traditional party lines that have historically dictated political loyalty in the region.
The Yellow Revolution’s massive backing underlined the Ashanti people’s growing disenchantment with traditional politicians.
Alan Kyerematen’s track record and dedication to influencing change struck a chord with many Ghanaians looking for an alternative to established political techniques.
The Yellow Revolution gains traction with each passing day as the 2024 general elections approach.
