Claudia Lumor: I entered politics to inspire women

Claudia Kwarteng Lumor, the only female parliamentary aspirant in Oforikrom is optimistic her decision to enter politics will inspire more women to take up leadership position in politics.

Lumor, 43, an accomplished publisher and founder of Kollage Media, is hoping to bring change and development to the Oforikrom constituency with her knowledge and expertise.

She is facing four other male aspirants in the upcoming parliamentary primaries. She is tipped to win the slot after sitting MP Emmanuel Marfo joined the list of growing MPs in the Ashanti Region who did not seek re-election.

Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (17 January), Lumor said “I feel like some of us who have matured and grown through mentoring, should use ourselves as example to inspire the people.”

“Because the more they see more women moving and shifting and the narrative shifting into that area, it will inspire a lot more women in various fields that they can do this.”

“The calling and purpose and why I’m doing this is bigger than the brand Claudia Lumor, because there are more women behind us. We are ready to serve our country, to put everything on the line, show maturity and wisdom to inspire more people,” Lumor added.
