In the 2012 general election, she contested the Ablekuma West constituency parliamentary seat.[1]

She served as Deputy Minister of Communications under the John Dramani Mahama administration until Friday, 8 November 2013.

She currently runs a non profit organisation for women - Progressive Organisation for Women's Advancement[2] (POWA).
