She first stepped into politics as the Assemblywoman for Herman, after being chosen by the former GFP leader. Her journey towards the presidency started from there. In 2012, she decided to make a bid for the presidency by submitting an application to run as an independent candidate.
The Electoral Commission disqualified her due to her failure to meet the eligibility requirements. Akua Donkor objected to the decision but ultimately decided against taking legal action. Rather than giving her endorsement, she chose to back Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP).
In 2016, she experienced another threat of disqualification when the headquarters of her political party, the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), located in Kabu, Eastern Region, was destroyed by fire in January.
