Member of Parliament (MP) for Korley Klottey Constituency, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings says there is nothing like done-deal when it comes to elections.
According to the MP, she does not believe in such things.
Addressing Journalists during the NDC Presidential and Parliamentary primaries held at her Constituency, she said "Elections are not things to be toyed with. There are lots of moving hearts as far as elections go and it is to make sure that as a party we are ready, solid and then, all the moving parts that are sometimes beyond our control, we make sure that we have gotten grip of all of those"
"Done deal, I would not say but there are lots of work we can do if we actually mobilise and we are well united and have a good strategy in place, then definitely we are looking at victory in 2024"
She also said "Fortunately, we have data that we can speak to and in 2016, I won by a margin of over 4,000. By 2020, the vote margin increased by over 8,000 which was a good indication that we are actually getting more people involved"
"Those are the ones that are the floating voters and every party has its core supporters and you can't win the elections with the core supporters alone"
She revealed that when her late father was alive, she won the primaries, was taken to court and nothing happenedafterwards.
She stressed that what God has ordained, no one can change.
"It is a party, there is democracy and people are entitled to what they want to do and we also do what we have to do and we shall prevail"
"Wait and see the margin of victory after today. I have it in my back-pocket"
Responding to a question on whether contesting another woman seemed a worry, the MP said "Not at all. Ultimately, it is also about experience. Just being a female is not enough. You must also bring something unto the table, because this is not a ceremonial position"
She noted that a Member of Parliament ought to be understanding and also know how to make laws and budgetary allocation.
"If it is about being only a female then, I had no business winning the seat but although the people are looking at gender, they are also looking at what you can offer"
