Since 2006, Aka has been the president of the Réseau des Femmes africaines Ministres et Parlementaires de Côte d'Ivoire (REFAMPCI), a network of female African ministers and parliamentarians in the Ivory Coast.[5] The group's goal is to unite women and fight female poverty.[6]

In 2013, Aka ran as an independent and won in the regional elections for Moronou with 46.18% of the votes (20,459),[7] beating out PDCI candidate, Ahoua N'Doli.[8] Her win made her the first female to be elected president of an Ivorian regional council.[9][10] Aka was instated as president at a ceremony on 29 June 2013.[11]

On 15 June 2015, the PDCI-RDA elected Aka to be the president of the rural division of the Union des femmes de PDCI (UFPDCI).[12]

On 5 April 2017, Guillaume Soro appointed Aka as one of eleven vice-presidents of the National Assembly of the Ivory Coast.[13]

On 29 September 2018, Aka began her campaign for re-election in the 2018 regional elections for Moronou.[14] She faced off against high-profile FPI candidate Pascal Affi N'Guessan.[15] The Commission Electorale Indépendante (CEI) declared Affi the winner of the election on 13 October with – Aka disputed the results, claiming he sequestered and threatened the president of the CEI,[16] stating that "a robbery took place".[17]
