Meet Obaa Yaa

Some biographies are written. Obaa Yaa Amponsah Frimpong’s was lived.

In polling booths and community clinics, in party meetings and crisis rooms, in the boardrooms of Denver and the constituencies of Ghana’s Northern Savannah.

What follows is not a political résumé. It is the record of a woman who has given the New Patriotic Party three decades of unconditional service — and who now presents that record to the party she loves as her credential for its highest elected administrative office.

In her own words

“I grew up in Obuasi during a time when speaking the wrong word at the wrong moment could cost a family everything.”

“I watched neighbours dragged before kangaroo tribunals. I saw wives left behind. I saw children grow up without fathers. That experience did not make me afraid of politics. It made me committed to the kind of politics that protects people — the kind that the New Patriotic Party was founded to deliver.”

“I cast my first vote for this party in 1996. I co-founded the Colorado Chapter in 2006. I drove 22 hours for national campaign fundraising event in Los Angeles in 2008. I hosted the NPP’s International Conference in Denver in 2009. I have been a delegate at three National Flagbearer Congresses. I have spent 30 years doing the unglamorous work of party-building — the minutes and the meetings, the logistics and the late nights, the medical outreaches and the audits. And I am asking, now, for the mandate to bring all of that to the national stage. Not for myself. For this party. For Ghana.” — Obaa Yaa

“Tried. Tested. Trusted. Never Disappointed.”
