Some people would vote for anything cloth in NPP colors. I bet they voted for her just because she is not NDC. This is Ghana not UK! She is just a child.

Dear Ms Francisca, congratulations on your massive victory to represent your people. The Job description is to REPRESENT YOUR PEOPLE. I know a lot of people may have advised you, coached you and encouraged you. But remember, your service to the people is service to God, (ie if you believe in HIM) until then, the title HONOURABLE would be meaningless. The title is better earned than commanded. Remember those who trod the grounds before you. Some performed incredibly well, aspire to be more than them and the fulfilling will be enormous. Others put monetary gains ahead of them, some wanting to make a million dollar and all that. But remember that the love of money is the root of all evil. Let HUMILITY be your watchword, not necessarily because you are young, but because pride goes before a fall. I do wish you become one of the respectable, experienced politician who are people-centered in the future.So let TRUTH, HONESTY and GODLINESS follow you wherever you go and whatever you do or say. That is what will protect you. Prove to your critics that you are capable of the trust reposed in you. God bless you exceedingly, And I do hope you would get to read this comment. I wish you well, and Be well...
I think Francisca is a very welcome addition to the NPP team in Parliament who represents a very huge demographic, the youth in this country. Her unique perspective would be gold. Congrats Francisca on winning your seat. You are supremely qualified and Ghana looks forward to your contributions in moving the agenda of the Ghana project forward.
William Pitt was UK Prime Minister in 1783, at the age of 24.

Those you mentioned were deputy ministers.About her age in politics age is immaterial so long as the person has passed the threshold mandated by law.You may need to read a bit about it.In UK at some point in time they had a prime minister who was in his twenties.
