Current Member of Parliament, Adwoa Safo, representing the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency has conveyed her gratitude to the members of the New Patriotic Party in the region.

In the recent primary election held on January 27, the current Member of Parliament lost the NPP parliamentary slot to her longstanding contender, Mike Oquaye Junior.

The incumbent MP has clarified that, contrary to speculation in certain circles, she has no intention of running as an independent candidate in the upcoming December 7 parliamentary election.

“My attention has been drawn to several recent misinformations and speculations 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 said in a press release dated January 30.

Madam Adwoa Safo assured that “As a three-term Member of Parliament and a true party person, I am cognizant of the fundamental principles that underpin the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition for which internal competition and afterwards cooperation remain 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, or, for that matter, at any point in the foreseeable future.”

“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 further assured.

In a press release issued on January 30, Madam Adwoa Safo extended her thanks to the party's rank and file for affording her the privilege of serving them for three consecutive terms.

“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,“ she stated in a letter that refuted widespread speculation that she intends to run as an independent candidate in the December 7, 2024 elections.
