Regina Asamany (born 30 July 1927) was a Ghanaian politician who hailed from Kpando, a town in the Volta Region of Ghana. She is widely recognised as one of the women whose efforts helped Ghana attain independence.[2] She was the daughter of an ivory carver and the only woman to make it into the first rank of the Togoland Congress leadership in the 1950s.[3] She was a member of parliament representing the Volta Region from 1960 to 1965 and the member of parliament for Kpando from 1965 to 1966.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
