The female contenders are making waves with their unique strengths and backgrounds. *Mariama Naamaa Salifu*, a diplomat at Ghana’s Embassy in Niamey, Niger, has quickly emerged as a frontrunner.

Her promises include vocational training, scholarships, improved ICT access for schools, and enhanced healthcare and financial services. Leveraging her international connections, she aims to bring in diaspora support for local development.
*Hajia Shamima Yakubu*, the NDC’s Northern Regional Treasurer, is relying on her experience in party organization and financial management to win support. Her track record in these areas could prove valuable in the role of MP.
The third female aspirant, *Muliaka Sualisu*, may be less well-known, but her entry adds an intriguing layer to the contest. While little is currently known about her background, her participation is sure to generate interest and potentially shake up the dynamics of the race.
