Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s voice was filled with determination as she declared, “The work begins!” This statement came after the Electoral Commission announced her party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, as the winner of Ghana’s 2024 presidential elections.
Held on Saturday, the elections marked a significant milestone for Ghana, with Opoku-Agyemang poised to become the country’s first female vice president.¹
As she looked ahead to her new role, Opoku-Agyemang emphasized her commitment to servant-leadership. Recognizing the vice presidency as a position of service rather than self-aggrandizement, she pledged to “hold the door open” for others.
This promise reflects her dedication to empowering others, particularly women and girls, which has been a hallmark of her career.
With a strong academic background, Opoku-Agyemang has served as Minister for Education and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast. Her achievements include promoting inclusive education policies and advocating for women’s rights.
As vice president, she is expected to continue championing these causes, inspiring a new generation of Ghanaians.
