The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) women caucus in Parliament has condemned the parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Delali Kwasi Brempong, for making misogynistic comment aimed at Lydia Seyram Alhassan of the NPP.<\/p>\n

Mr. Brempong was captured on video as saying that the NPP made a
\nmistake in choosing a woman (Lydia Alhassan) to contest him in today\u2019s
\nby-election following the untimely death of the MP Emmanuel Agyarko.<\/p>\n

The NPP Women Caucus, in a statement signed by Chairperson, Sarah
\nAdwoa Safo, Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya
\nConstituency<\/a>, described the comment as \u201creckless and
\nmisogynistic.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe caucus condemns, in no uncertain terms, this
\nreckless and misogynistic comment from him. It\u2019s quite surprising that someone
\nwho is seeking the mandate of his constituents, a lot of whom are women, to
\nrepresent them in Parliament, sees nothing wrong with casting aspersions at and
\ninsulting women. Yet he expects these same women to go out and vote for him on
\nthe D-day, how ironic!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond the condemnation, we also demand that he
\nretracts this statement and renders an unqualified apology to, first of all,
\nthe NPP parliamentary candidate, Madam Lydia Seyram Alhassan, and all women,
\nparticularly those of us engaged in active politics. We certainly
\ndo not deserve such insults from him,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The caucus said that women have proven their worth in all
\nfields and that said no nation can develop without a significant number of
\nwomen in public life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore worrying is the fact that he is making this denigrating comment against women at a time when a spirited campaign is being waged by civil society organizations and relevant stakeholders, including the Speaker of Parliament, to increase women representation in parliament because they are least represented in the august house,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
