Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, is highly optimistic that she will emerge victorious in securing the Dome Kwabena candidacy during the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) constituency primaries.

Madam Adowa Safo who has now returned to the country and resumed her parliamentary duties following a close-to-year absence, has declared her intention to seek re-election to parliament.

After casting her ballot at the just-ended presidential primaries, which saw Vice President Dr Mahammudu Bawumia emerge victorious, she noted that "I'm definitely winning."

"You can see, it is obvious," she added while urging all to unite following the elections to ensure the NPP emerges victorious in the 2024 elections.

"I expect that the best leader wins. I expect that after winning, we bring everybody on board, all hands on deck. We need that to win 2024 elections," she stated.

For orphan constituencies, elections would be held from August 1 to December 2, 2023.

The opening of nominations with sitting MPs would be held on December 20, 2023 and closing of nominations would be held on January 4, 2024 and elections would be slated for February 24, 2024.

Madam Adwoa Safo has apologised to her constituency members and her political party for her previous absence.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) expressed its approval of the public apology made by the MP.

The Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Haruna Mohammed, stated that her apology is viewed positively and contributes to the party’s image. “She has done something positive and the party welcomes her apology,” Haruna Mohammed said.

However, some New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency say they have taken the apology by Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, with a pinch of salt.

The NPP constituency Secretary for Dome-Kwabenya, Theophilus Larbi, described her apology as habitual, adding that her re-election as parliamentary candidate for the next general elections could adversely affect the party’s chances in the constituency.
