Madam Sena Setordzi, an aspirant for the Vice-Chairperson position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ho Central Constituency, has called on women to participate in decision-making and leadership within the party. She noted that no woman had previously contested the position in the constituency, and her aspiration aims to demonstrate that women can actively participate in party leadership and contribute to decision making. This move is expected to create space for more women to participate in the political process and have their concerns heard.
Madam Setordzi's decision to contest the position is driven by her desire to advocate for issues affecting women in the Ho Central Constituency.

Madam Setordzi's vision is to work with the constituency leadership and other stakeholders to promote initiatives that benefit both the elderly and the youth. She believes that women can occupy significant leadership positions in the party and at all levels to contribute to national decision-making and nation building.

She has appealed to delegates to consider her vision and support her bid for the Vice-Chairperson position.
