Former Miss Ghana Brigitte Dzogbenuku named Nduom’s running-mate

The flagbearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Papa Kwesi Nduom, has named Executive Director of Mentoring Women Ghana (MWG), Brigitte Dzogbenuku as his running mate for the elections in December.

Brigitte lives and works in Accra, running her for-profit business, Barclays Clubhouse, in addition to her non-profit organisation.

She is an accomplished entrepreneur who, for two and a half years she ran her own public relations and events management company – Protocol Ventures.

Dr. Nduom has consistently emphasised the need for jobs in his campaign for the presidency and Brigitte, with her accomplishments appears to be a logical fit for the PPP presidential candidate.
