Monrovia - Bong County Senator, Jewel Howard Taylor has called on women in politics in the country to work harder than their male counterparts in order to be elected during the October general and Presidential elections. The Bong County Senator made this remark during a one day strategic dialogue on women’s political leadership at the Monrovia City Hall on Tuesday. “Definitely, if they (political parties) do not come with thirty percent women, we will not take their nomination,” Madam Toe said. Emmanuel Tulay, head of interparty committee, also called on women to see themselves as popular force contrary to what their male counterparts usually say. Citing a case study, he said President Sirleaf has championed the cause for women participation in politics not only in Africa but the world at large.
