As the first Queen to contest the Ashanti Region Council of State Seat, Nana Adwoa Foriwaa, the Queen mother of the Nsuta Fuaman traditional territory, has created history.
Given that women have historically been under-represented in this position, this milestone represents a substantial change in the status quo.
The involvement of Nana Adwoa Foriwaa, the ninth nominee, is regarded as revolutionary since it offers a new viewpoint.
After submitting her candidacy forms to the Ashanti Regional Electoral Commission office, she spoke to the media and voiced her worries about the Ashanti Region’s lack of development, stating that the area deserves its fair share.
If given the chance, queenmother Nana Adwoa Foriwaa has promised to counsel the president to give the region’s development first priority.
Her dedication to promoting the development of her region is genuinely admirable, and her nomination represents a major advancement for women in leadership roles.
It is important to remember that the president receives important advice on national matters from the Council of State, of which each region has an elected representative.
The nomination of Nana Adwoa Foriwaa is evidence of her commitment to public service and her wish to improve her community.
