The study assesses the influence of demographic, economic, cultural and gender-based electoral perception on women's participation in political leadership.Economic aspects such as mobility, income, and resources were examined as cultural aspects such as women's priorities and if the cultural aspect supports women's entry into politics. The study was conducted through a descriptive survey with a quantitative approach. Data was collected using online questionnaires and responses from 70 University of Education, Winneba participants.
