The Paga Youth Movement (PAYOM) has congratulated Carol Ammons, popularly known by her traditional name, Alorisongo, on her re-election as the State Representative for Illinois’ 103rd House District in the United States.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Desmond Abire, the group described her re-election in the November 3, 2026, U.S. midterm elections as a source of pride for the people of Paga in the Upper East Region.
According to the movement, Representative Ammons was re-elected unopposed on the ticket of the Democratic Party, extending her record of public service since she first entered the Illinois House of Representatives in 2014.
PAYOM said her achievement held special significance for Paga because of her ancestral connection to the community.
It recalled that during a historic homecoming visit to Paga, she was given the traditional name Alorisongo, an honour the group said further strengthened her bond with her ancestral homeland.
The movement described her journey as an inspiration to young people, particularly girls and women, demonstrating that people of African ancestry could rise to positions of influence and make meaningful contributions to society regardless of geographical boundaries.
It said her accomplishments continued to place Paga on the global map and urged young people to draw inspiration from her leadership and commitment to public service.
As she begins another term, the group wished Representative Ammons continued success in serving her constituents and contributing to the development of Illinois.
PAYOM concluded by expressing pride in her achievement, describing her as a daughter of Paga whose success represents the enduring connection between Africa and its diaspora.
