Amankwaa who is in the United Kingdom for a short visit met Mayor Dar in Manchester when he and some NDC members of the UK and Ireland chapter paid a courtesy call on her.
The Mayor after the meeting with Amankwaa and his NDC colleagues took to Twitter to announce her excitement about having a conversation with the members of the NDC.
She said, “Such a warm welcome by members of the Ghanaian community. A truly empowering event full of positive energy.”
