Ghanaian broadcast journalist and outspoken social activist, Bridget Otoo, has been appointed to serve at the Office of the President under John Dramani Mahama’s administration, Citi News has confirmed.
Well-known for her fearless journalism and unfiltered commentary on national issues, Otoo’s transition from media to governance marks a significant shift in her public role. Her appointment is seen as a nod to her influence in shaping public discourse and her alignment with causes aimed at accountability and reform.
Beyond her work on screen, Otoo has gained national attention for her vocal participation in civic movements, most notably during the “Occupy Julorbi House” protest led by the Democracy Hub on September 21, 2023. Her presence at the protest underscored her commitment to demanding good governance and citizen-centered leadership.
Her new role within the Office of the President signals the Mahama administration’s intention to bring on board voices that have long advocated for social justice and public sector accountability from outside the corridors of power.
While official details about her specific responsibilities remain under wraps, political observers view her appointment as part of a broader strategy to integrate civil society voices and media expertise into government operations.
