Hajia Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, Member of Parliament for Salaga-South in the Savanah Region has filed nomination to seek re-election for a second term.

Addressing party supporters after filing the nomination at the EC Office at Salaga, she was optimistic that the people would rally behind her to retain the seat for the NDC.

She believes that in the last four years, she has championed the cause of her people by highlighting their needs for government’s attention and favourable response to improve the living standards of the constituents in the area and had no doubt “that come December 7, they will give me a massive endorsement.”

Hajia Ibrahimah is the first woman to contest for parliament and thus the only female MP in the entire Savanah region, she is also the only female contesting in the region in the upcoming elections.

The Salaga-South constituency seat has been occupied by the NDC since 1992 and annexed only twice thus the year 2000 and 2016 by the NPP in the entire eighth sessions of parliament.
