As the descendants of the Great Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, it is important that we, the Nzema people, consciously vote for Kwame Nkrumah's daughter, Samia Yaba Nkrumah, as the MP for Jomoro to ensure that we protect and preserve the memory of our great leader and the first President of our country.


This will enable Samia to leverage Kwame Nkrumah's influence around the world to drive investments to Jomoro, leading to rapid development and sustainable economic opportunities that promote entrepreneurship and support local businesses to grow.


Rallying behind Samia Yaba Nkrumah means we are supporting a vision and a commitment to improving access to quality education and skills training programmes so that the youth in Jomoro can have something useful doing and succeed in the modern economy and be able to compete with any other youth anywhere.

The Samia Agenda, anchored on her father's ideas, also seeks to put priority on developing infrastructure and utilities such as roads, water supply, and electricity which will improve the quality of life for all residents.

We strive towards better access to healthcare services and social support programs for our community members, ensuring their wellbeing while implementing policies that protect our natural resources through sustainable environmental practices.

It is imperative that we resist Rawlings' plan of raising himself above Kwame Nkrumah in Nzema politics by removing Nkrumah's daughter from Parliament.

Let us stand up for Kwame Nkrumah by voting Samia Yaba Nkurmah instead of Rawling's representative who harbors deep-seated hatred towards him.

Madam Samia Nkrumah's governing strategy remains committed to transparent governance methodologies while being accountable at every step along the way.


Furthermore, she will strive hard by involving communities via decision-making processes fostering unity among diverse communities residing within Jomoro Municipality through inclusive measures that promote respect & understanding amongst everyone.

Together, let’s build a prosperous and inclusive Jomoro where everyone gets equal opportunity to thrive!
