Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings’ Ministerial Appointment—Fact or Fiction?

Despite growing public speculation, no official statement has been released as of March 2, 2025, to confirm that President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings as Deputy Minister of Health. Currently, she continues to serve as the Member of Parliament for Klottey-Korle, a role she has successfully maintained since 2016. Her recent victory in the December 2024 general elections, where she secured 62.78% of the vote, solidified her third consecutive term.

Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings’s influence extends beyond Ghana’s borders. In March 2024, she was selected as co-chair of the Global Network of Women Legislators in Defence, Security, and Peace (WLID). This influential group brings together female legislators from over 25 countries across four continents to shape policy in global peace and security.

Although discussions surrounding her possible appointment to a deputy ministerial role continue, such claims remain unverified. Until there is an official announcement, Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings remains focused on her current responsibilities, both domestically and internationally.
