Constituency women organisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ashanti have expressed dissatisfaction about what they described as marginalisation by their male counterparts, in the management of the party.
They claim that the men do not involve them in decision-making at the constituency level, thereby keeping them in the dark.
The women have, therefore, resolved to contest for the positions including that of chairman and secretary at the party’s congresses.
This followed a meeting they held with the Regional Women’s Organiser, Miss Georgina Osei-Tutu in Kumasi, on Tuesday.
It was designed to discuss ways of making the women become more active at all levels of the party’s structure.
Miss Osei-Tutu told them not to allow the party’s victory in the last general elections, “go into their heads” but they should work hard for the 2004 polls.
She advised them to adopt effective communication techniques, avoid arrogance, use tact and diplomacy to win over those on the other side of the political divide.
Miss Osei-Tutu also advised them to get themselves adequately informed about government policies to better articulate and explain them to the people.
