Entertainment of Monday, 26 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comClaudia Lumor, a media entrepreneur and former political aspirant, has called on political parties in Ghana to deliberately create structures that encourage more women to participate in governance. Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on January 23, 2026, Lumor said women remain significantly underrepresented in politics due to structural and cultural barriers within the political space. Lumor further disclosed the emotional toll her political journey took on her, revealing that she experienced emotional breakdowns behind the scenes. She shared that existing political structures are designed to favour men, as society more readily accepts men leaving their families behind for political work than it does women. “If political parties are listening, they need to be intentional with making sure that we want to get more women into government.
