She contested for the West Mamprusi seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 1996 parliamentary election and won polling 23,021 votes which represented 63% of the entire votes cast.[2] During the 2000 parliamentary election, she lost the seat to Issifu Asumah of the People's National Convention (PNC).[3] She polled 12,735 votes (37.3%) as against Asumah's 18,907 votes (55.4%).[3] In 2004, even though she had gained considerable endorsement from the NDC party faithful prior to the general election,[4] Alidu Iddrisu Zakari represented the party to contest for the then newly created Walewale East seat. Zakari consequently defeated Issifu Asumah for the seat in the 2004 parliamentary election.
