Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has expressed confidence that Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang could make history as Ghana’s first female President.
Speaking during the Vice President’s working visit to the Ministry of Education, Mr. Iddrisu publicly affirmed his admiration and support for her leadership qualities.“It is my personal wish that you are elevated to become the first female President of our country,” he said.
He further pledged his backing should the Vice President decide to pursue the presidency in the future, assuring her of his “unwavering support.”
The Vice President’s visit to the Ministry formed part of her broader engagements with key state institutions.
A survey by Global InfoAnalytics in April 2025 tipped the Vice President as the frontrunner with 26% voter preference.
She was closely followed by the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, with 19%, and the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, who ranked third with 12%.
National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia shared fourth place with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, both polling at 10%.
However, a new polling data, excluding Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, has placed Mr. Iddrisu in an early lead with 27% support.
He is followed closely by Mr. Nketia at 26%, while Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson holds third place with 22%.
Chief of Staff Julius Debrah and Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa ranked fourth and fifth with 11% and 8% support respectively.
