A new research study has found that Samira Bawumia transformed the second lady position. This study was published in Drumspeak, an international journal. It was co-authored by Prof. G. Etse Sikanku and Dr. Louise Carol Donkor.

The researchers analyzed media narratives about the second lady from credible Ghanaian media outlets. They found that Mrs. Bawumia was seen as a stabilizing force. Her demeanor was described as decorous, motherly, gentle, and decent.

While she fulfilled her traditional role, she also focused on social interventions. These programs aimed to empower young girls, women, and children with skills and inspiration. Mrs. Bawumia participated in many initiatives for underprivileged groups.

Another key narrative highlighted her political role as a communicator. She was recognized as a strong and eloquent speaker during campaigns. Her contributions marked a new phase in Ghana's democracy.

Sikanku and Donkor concluded that Mrs. Bawumia made significant changes as second lady. She went beyond traditional roles to become an engaging advocate for social issues.

Her visibility on the campaign trail showcased her effectiveness as second lady. The research shows she represents an era of change through dignity and advocacy.

The authors noted that this study fills a gap in academic literature on political spouses. It is one of the first studies examining media representation of second ladies in Ghana.

This research expands knowledge on female public figures and their framing in media coverage. In a political landscape often filled with drama, Mrs. Bawumia maintained a respectable image.

Her conduct elevated women's participation in politics through energetic advocacy and governance efforts.
