As Ghana gears up for the December 7 elections, there is one undeniable truth: communication is more than just a tool for political engagement; it is the lifeblood of a healthy democracy.

The Convention People's Party (CPP) 2024 Manifesto is dedicated to women, the presidential candidate of the party, Nana Akosua Frimpomaa Sarpong-Kumakumah, has said.

She said "The Women's Manifesto” was a call to action, “where everyone would live in dignity, participate in prosperity and shape their destiny in a nation free of dependency”.
