Dr. Stella Agyemang Duah declares bid for NPP parliamentary ticket in Nsuta-Kwamang-Beposo

Dr. Stella Agyemang Duah, a renowned research scientist and native of Sekyere Kwaman, has officially declared her intention to contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in the Nsuta-Kwamang-Beposo constituency. Her bid sets the stage for a competitive internal race in a constituency that the NPP has historically dominated.

Dr. Agyemang Duah brings a distinguished professional background to the political arena. She serves as a Research Scientist at the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute under the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, and is also an adjunct lecturer at Sunyani Technical University. She holds a PhD in Agricultural Sciences from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, with her research focusing on post-harvest management and food security. Beyond academia, she is the founder of the Gallant Afrique Foundation, a humanitarian organization, and previously made history as the youngest and only female board member of Kwamanman Rural Bank.

Her entry into the parliamentary race introduces a technocratic voice to the NPP’s internal contest. Dr. Agyemang Duah has emphasized her commitment to leveraging her expertise in agriculture and rural development to address post-harvest losses and empower rural women in small and medium enterprises. She will be vying for the ticket against the backdrop of the party’s stronghold in the area. The incumbent Member of Parliament, Adelaide Ntim, has held the seat since 2021 and retained it in the 2024 primaries. The constituency chairman has previously called for unity and support for whoever emerges as the candidate to ensure the party retains the seat in the general elections.

The NPP parliamentary primary in Nsuta-Kwamang-Beposo will be a key contest to watch as the party prepares for future electoral battles. Dr. Agyemang Duah’s campaign is expected to focus on her background in science, agriculture, and community development as she seeks to convince delegates to give her the nod to represent the party.
