”I am formally declaring my intention to stand as an independent candidate in the forthcoming presidential elections 2008. As we in the Diaspora now have a vote, it is my intention to contest as I do not see any woman of substance contesting for the top position.”
Miss Djaba said she intends to stand under her pseudonym, Miss Ama Amankwaa Afrifa and since she does not yet have a constituency, she will be hoping that the UK will be a Constituency. “If not then it will be in the Yilo Osudoku area.”
