In the aftermath of her loss in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries, Dome-Kwabenya lawmaker Sarah Adwoa Safo has quashed rumors suggesting her potential run as an independent candidate in the upcoming December elections.

Asserting her unwavering commitment to the core values of the NPP, Adwoa Safo explicitly stated that she has no intention of running as an Independent Candidate in the forthcoming December 7, 2024, presidential and parliamentary elections or at any foreseeable point in the future.

In an official statement, Adwoa Safo highlighted her enduring dedication to the NPP's shared values and the collective goal of securing victory in the December 7, 2024, elections alongside Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in their pursuit to "break the 8."

‘’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’’.

She explained that ‘’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 afterward cooperation, remains the guiding light’’.

She further used the opportunity to express her eternal appreciation to the good people of Dome-Kwabenya Constituency especially the 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, adding that ‘’It has been a real honor 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’’ she concluded in the statement posted on her Facebook page.

Adwoa Safo faced defeat at the hands of the Chief Executive Officer of the Free Zones Authority, Mike Oquaye Jnr, who secured over 1194 votes, while Adwoa Safo garnered 328 votes. A third candidate, Sheela Oppong Sakyi, placed third in the contest with just over 100 votes.
