The wife of the vice-presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), Alma Naa Jama Opoku Prempeh, kicked off her political campaign at the Odododiodoo Constituency, where she visited her maternal family home to seek their support.

Accompanied by prominent figures including the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, as well as regional and constituency executives of the NPP, Mrs. Opoku Prempeh asked for the blessings of her family elders to begin her campaign in earnest.

The visit was marked by a blend of traditional rites, heartfelt exchanges with her family, and resounding chants of endorsement from party supporters in the constituency who had gathered to witness the event.
