Mimi Duah, the Deputy National Women Organiser of Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP), has publicly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson to assume the role of National Women's Organiser. Duah's endorsement comes as the party prepares for internal leadership selections.

In a statement outlining her reasons, Duah described Koomson as a "true grassroots mother" who possesses a forgiving nature and a talent for uniting party members. "She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing," Duah stated.

Duah also pointed to Koomson's extensive experience, noting her previous roles as Constituency Women's Organiser, Member of Parliament, and Minister of State. This background, Duah believes, positions Koomson to provide effective leadership for the party's women's wing. Furthermore, Duah suggested that Koomson's extensive network and business contacts could help secure resources, training, and financial support for women organisers across all levels of the party.

Looking ahead to the 2028 general elections, Duah stressed the need for "fearless, bold and assertive leadership" within the NPP's women's front. She asserted that Koomson is the ideal candidate to inspire regional, constituency, and polling station organisers as the party reorganizes. "We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader," Duah concluded.
