It wasn’t easy replacing my husband – Widow of Mfantseman MP on her decision to contest seat
Mfantseman Member Parliament (MP)-elect, Mrs. Ophelia Mensah Hayford has for the first time admitted that the decision to quit her job, replace her late husband and contest as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the area was not an easy one.
The 47-year-old Police officer who was with the Interpol Unit at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters in Accra, resigned as a Chief Inspector to begin her political journey on October 11, 2020.
Speaking on what pushed her to accept the decision to go into politics, she admitted it was not an easy one but said she had to in view of the circumstances that presented themselves.
