History has been made in the Dutch Parliament after Amma Asante, a Ghanaian born-politician became a member of the the Netherlands\u2019 legislature. She will serve until March 2017, when the next general elections are expected to be held.<\/p>\n
Miss Asante\u2019s rise to this position has not come easy, since the last elections over four years ago (2012).<\/p>\n
She was left waiting because she narrowly missed direct election to the parliament because her party, Partij van de Arbeidre, (Labour Party)also known as Pvda fell short on the number of seats won to give Amma Asante a place in the Dutch Parliament.<\/p>\n
