A member of the communications team for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Shamima Muslim, has said her transition into politics was a personal choice.
In an interview on Channel One TV, the media professional and gender activist cited the underrepresentation of women in politics as a significant factor in her decision to enter the field.
Reflecting on her previous career as a journalist, she expressed satisfaction with her professional conduct.
She highlighted her commitment to professional integrity, emphasizing that she had never used any media platform to promote the agenda of any political party, regardless of her personal inclinations.
“The decision to go into politics was not forced on me and perhaps from my history, my family and where I am currently, I could still be active behind the scenes. There are a lot of people who support political parties behind the scenes, but I wasn’t going to use a media platform to execute the political agenda of any political party whether that party was traditionally my preference in terms of ideology and some other considerations. I wasn’t going to do that. ”
“I am glad that I was able to do a very professional job that people today can say that yes you did execute your job professionally guided by the ethics of the profession and we wouldn’t even had known that you had any sympathies whatsoever for the NDC. I am happy about that,” Ms Muslim stated.
