Barbara Quashigah Steps Into Late Dad’s Political Footsteps, Eyes Ayawaso West Wuogon NPP Ticket

Barbara Quashigah, the daughter of the late Major Courage Quashigah, has declared her intention to contest the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary ticket on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Her declaration adds her name to the list of aspirants seeking to represent the NPP in the constituency. By stepping forward, she is seeking to follow in the footsteps of her father, a former Minister of Health and Minister of Food and Agriculture who served under the John Kufuor administration.

Barbara Quashigah’s decision to enter the race brings a notable family legacy into the contest. Her father, Major Courage Quashigah, was a respected figure in Ghanaian politics, and her bid is likely to attract attention given that background.

The Ayawaso West Wuogon seat has been a competitive one, and the NPP’s parliamentary primary is expected to draw significant interest. Aspirants will need to make their case to party delegates and secure the nomination ahead of the general elections.

Quashigah has not yet outlined a detailed campaign platform, but her declaration signals that she intends to compete seriously for the ticket. Supporters are likely to frame her candidacy around continuity and service, drawing on her father’s legacy in public office.

The contest for the Ayawaso West Wuogon NPP ticket is expected to be closely watched, with Quashigah’s entry adding a new dimension to the race. As the party prepares for its primaries, she will be seeking to convince delegates that she is the best candidate to represent the NPP in the constituency.

Her declaration marks the beginning of what could be a closely contested primary, and observers will be watching to see how her candidacy develops in the coming weeks.
