Perpetual Lomokie declares intention to contest for NPP’s Women Organiser position

Perpetual Ekua Lomokie, former Deputy National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has declared her intention to run for the Women’s Organiser role in the upcoming 2026 party elections.

If elected, Perpetual will become the youngest person ever to hold the position.

In a statement, Miss Lomokie — who is also the founding President of the Loyal Ladies — expressed optimism that, when united, resourced, and empowered to lead, women within the party are the driving force capable of reimagining, correcting, and delivering a historic win for the NPP in the 2028 general elections.

Her vision for the role is straightforward yet ambitious: to create opportunities for women at all levels of the party to thrive, contribute meaningfully, and ascend to leadership positions.

She pledged to listen, learn, and lead with compassion, ensuring that the needs, ideas, and concerns of women shape the future direction of the NPP.

Perpetual stressed the need to rebuild trust, reignite passion, and reposition the party for greater success.

Ghana’s voter population currently stands at 18,772,251, with females numbering 9,689,987 (51.6%) and males 9,082,264 (48.4%).

Of this, a significant 55.1% (10,343,810 individuals) are aged between 18 and 35.

According to her, this demographic reality makes it imperative for the party to select leaders who resonate with the majority of voters, understand grassroots mobilisation, possess the skills to energise the party base, and have experience mobilising young women motivated to help reclaim lost parliamentary seats.

She believes this strategy will boost the party’s performance in its strongholds, effectively challenge the NDC in theirs, and win back key groups including students, market women, the middle class, and young women in the informal sector such as seamstresses and hairdressers.
