A leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Victor Smith has expressed shock at NDC Vice Chairperson Anita De-Soso’s decision to run as a National Organiser of the party.
According to him, Madam De-Soso sent him a message to inform him about her bid, but considered it as a joke because he never thought a woman could run for a National Organizer position.
“I never knew Anita would stand for a national organizer position. She even sent me a message to that effect but it came to me as a joke because I didn’t believe she could take that path” he stated.

Mr. Smith who is the former Ghana High Commissioner to the United Kingdom said, the National position is male-dominated thus wondered why Madam De-Soso could make such a decision to run for that post.
“I am not saying women can’t stand for such positions but seriously I’ve never known us to do such things like a woman standing for national organizer” he said in an interview on Asempa FM’s afternoon political show, Ekosi Sen Show Thursday.
