This is the profile of Madam Lydia Alhassan, widow of late Emmanuel Boakye Agyarko who yesterday December 29, 2018, won as parliamentary candidate for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency of the Greater Accra Region as reported by MyNewsGh.com.
She beat four other contenders by a landslide and emerged victorious announcing various interventions she intends putting in place to empower ward coordinators in the area economically even before the by-election.
Many have argued she is not really known in politics and perhaps is a novice but it is gathered that she has been an integral part of the NPP in the constituency and extended her tentacles to improve the fortunes of the party in the Volta Region where she hails from.
Madam Lydia Alhassan affectionately called Maa Lydia holds an MBA Marketing from the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS, Legon) and Bachelor of Administration (B.A Entrepreneurship?) from Ghana the Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).

EVERY MEMBER OF NPP IS AN INTELLECTUAL.....100%
I am hopping that npp will soon appoint bawumiah brother in law as special representative to the UN office because family relations. I never thought this would have been possible. A chicken black will always be black no matter what. 2019 should bring ghanaians reasoning power and be able to analyze objectively not subjectively
Ghana is the loser because we don't know the meaning of holding a political office. ghanaians are far better thinking than this, no wonder our political system is turning into family none sense. are we serious as a nation? I have no problem with the lady running for mp but the criteria for selecting her just does not make sense. That is why Akuffo Addo will pack his family and friends to juicy positions in his administration and the idioooots do not see anything wrong with that. No wonder lady wants to be president because the husband was a president. ARE Ghanaians growing taller or we are growing wiser or becoming more stupiiiid with short memories and can no longer reason with common sense that ghana is for ghanaians and not for few selected. A retired army officer feels it his right to be appointed to higher office whether it is ndc or npp because no one more qualified than him. Do we reason as a nation? No wonder the black skin is regarded as biologically inferior in using the mind as compared to white skin. Hope the year 2019 will change this political none sense.
Ama, what do you thing Membership of the executive committee of Volta region NPP and member executive committee of Ayawaso NPP mean? Is that not a political experience? I thing some times we need to give people a break.
EGYIMIFO LIKE YOUR PARENTS,
Well articulated Ama. Politics is gradually turning into family affairs. So the NPP wants us to understand that they have no credible and qualified person to lead them.
What is jealousy about speaking the truth? Sympathy sympathy and we always behind.
This Ama girl is talking out of jealousy, ***barred word*** ***barred word*** !!
Egimifo. So because a person has all these paper qualifications without any political experience coupled with the fact that she is a widow, we should vote for her? If paper qualifications and being a widow is what it takes to go to parliament then a lot of women in Ghana more qualified than her would have been in parliament. This is not family business oooooo tom! We need dynamic, energetic and seriously hardworking persons for parliamentary job. The reason why our parliamentarians are soo lazy is that they just go there without any hardworking spirit, either because they are either ndc or npp member in their perceived stronghold, they are voted for. That is why bagbin and kyei mensah bonsu are still in parliament, but are not doing nothing. Because of this stronghold nun sense anybody goes to parliament.
