The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has outdoored the Brigitte Dzogbenuku as its flagbearer for the 2020 elections at an event held at the Press Centre on Saturday, 12th September, 2020.
Brigitte hopped unto the political limelight in 2016 after she was chosen as the running mate to the then flagbearer, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom.
The former student of the Wesley Girls Senior High School (SHS) won the Miss Ghana pageant in 1990.
Brigitte Dzogbenuku is the founder and Executive Director of Mentoring Women Ghana (MWG), which runs programmes that inspire and empower young women and girls to make a positive difference in their communities. Her commitment to the cause won her the Fortune/Goldman Sachs Women’s Leadership Award in 2008.
She is driven by the Ghanaian woman’s strong will to succeed no matter the odds and has a dream of seeing women in key leadership roles in Ghana.
The PPP since its formation has had Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom as its flagbearer. Brigitte is thus the second person to lead the party which has the bright red sun as its symbol.
