Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has 'outdoored' her eldest son, Ohene Safo Agyapong, whose illness caused her absence from Parliament for close to a year.

In May 2022, Adwoa Safo explained to Ghanaians that she was residing in the United States in order to cater for her ailing son.

“As you know, my son is unwell and has to transition to school, so I have to ensure that all that is settled before I can resume my duties and that is exactly what I am doing,” she said.

“I have been doing a lot to take care of my children which the law requires and as you know here in the foreign land, I have to comply with whatever I am directed to do and until all that is sorted out, I have to do what I have to do, and then I will return to my duties,” she added.

Over the weekend, Adwoa Safo participated in the just-ended NPP primaries, and during this exercise, she introduced her son, whom she says is in good health condition.

He was flown to Ghana to pay a visit to his grandparents.

"This is my son. He is my eldest son. He is Ohene Safo Agyapong. By God's grace he is well now. He came to visit his grandparents and also show himself to the public and thank God," she said.

In the meantime, the Member of Parliament, who has now returned to the country and resumed her parliamentary duties, albeit without her ministerial role, has declared her intention to seek re-election to parliament.

She has also offered her apologies to her constituency members and her political party for her previous absence and is currently conducting stakeholder consultations in preparation for the NPP's upcoming parliamentary primaries.
