Dome-Kwabenya MP Adwoa Safo Dispels Unfounded Rumors About Her Plans To Run As An Independent

The mandate to run for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ticket in the forthcoming 2024 parliamentary election was not granted to Sarah Adwoa Safo.

Despite not winning the NPP primary on January 28, Sarah Adwoa Safo declared that she is still devoted to the party’s principles and will work with it to “break the 8” in December 2024.

Taking to her Facebook page on January 30, she said “I wish to clarify, that despite the setback and outcome of last Saturday’s parliamentary primaries in Dome-Kwabenya, I remain steadfast in my commitment to the shared values of the New Patriotic Party and our corporate quest to break the 8 with H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia come December 7, 2024.

She continued that having represented the people of Dome Kwabenya for three consecutive terms on the ticket of the NPP, she remains committed to the values of the party.

“For the avoidance of doubt and without any shred of ambiguity, I reiterate that I have no intention whatsoever of running as an Independent Candidate in the upcoming December 7, 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections and for that matter, at any point in the foreseeable future.”

The Dome-Kwabenya MP expressed her appreciation to the Polling Station Executives for allowing her to serve her constituents for 12 years.

She also assured the party that in the remaining months up to when she hands over to her successor, she would continue to work hard to serve the interest of the people and the party at large.

“For the next few months, I remain dedicated to working collaboratively with the Leadership of the party in the constituency in collectively pursuing goals to unite us for the task ahead in campaigning to maximise our votes for both Parliamentary and Presidential candidates and in Parliament, to execute Government business expeditiously,” she added.

 

 Below is the full statement released by Adwoa Safo

January 30, 2024.

My attention has been drawn to several recent misinformation and speculation in the media regarding my political future in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency in particular and the New Patriotic Party as a whole.

I wish to clarify, that despite the setback and outcome of last Saturday’s parliamentary primaries in Dome-Kwabenya, I remain steadfast in my commitment to the shared values of the New Patriotic Party and our corporate quest to break the 8 with H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia come December 7,2024.

As a three-term Member of Parliament and a true party person, I am cognizant of the fundamental principles which underpin the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition for which internal competition and afterwards cooperation, remains the guiding light.

For the avoidance of doubt and without any shred of ambiguity, I reiterate that I have no intention whatsoever of running as an Independent Candidate in the upcoming December 7,2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections and for that matter, at any point in the forseable future.

I take the opportunity to express my eternal appreciation to the good people of Dome-Kwabenya Constituency especially our hard working Polling Station Executives for the opportunity to represent their interests and aspirations in the august house of Parliament in the last 12 years. It has been a real honour and privilege working for and with you on matters and issues that border on our common interests and for which I do not take lightly. From the depths of my heart, I say Thank You.

For the next few months, I remain dedicated to working collaboratively with the Leadership of the party in the constituency in collectively pursuing goals to unite us for the task ahead in campaigning to maximize our votes for both Parliamentary and Presidential candidates and in Parliament, to execute Government business expeditiously.
Sincerely,

HON. SARAH ADWOA SAFO
MP, DOME-KWABENYA CONSTITUENCY
