Former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo has cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to desist from pointing fingers at her for the party’s loss in the area.
In an interview with JoyNews, she noted that she played no role in the defeat, adding that it is illogical for her to be held responsible.She mentioned that the party has been unfair to her despite her twelve years hard work, sacrifices, and devotion, expressing disappointment over being overlooked and unappreciated for her contributions.
According to Adwoa Safo, she finds no interest in contesting for the Dome-Kwabenya seat but hinted that her decision could change if her father intervenes.
She highlighted the strong legacy she has built for her constituents, confident that her impact will be remembered for years to come.
"Before the recent primaries I had many issues going on internally. I was branded as unpopular, I was branded ungrateful to the party. I was branded as somebody the people will appall. The people will reject, the people are not willing to see my face in the constituency. So it was a party decision and they brought all the machinations that they had at their disposal to make sure we kick Adwo Safo out by hook or crook.
"Forgetting that you will be the delegate album that you will manipulate but at the end of the day you will present the candidate to the larger picture which is the larger electorate. And somebody who has become unpopular, somebody who has been so unfaithful to the party. I was supposed to be present at our campaign rallies in the constituency and so our defeat is caused by my absence. I don't see the logic in this."Considering what I have been through, considering how I have been treated in the constituency, despite my devotion, despite my sacrifices, despite my hard work, how I have been treated, I don't think so I won't. It will take my father to change my mind. I have done twelve years and I have left a good legacy for the constituency. I will not contest Dome-Kwabenya. I am moving forward. I am looking at other bigger things," she added.
She alleged that some party officials deliberately sabotaged her who believed they had been treated unfairly by her.
Despite her attempts to reconcile, she believes their actions played a significant role in her electoral defeat. On January 27, 2024, Adwoa Safo lost the NPP parliamentary primary to Mike Oquaye Jnr., CEO of the Free Zones Authority, who won with 1,194 votes.
She placed second with 328 votes, while Sheela Oppong Sakyi secured just over 100 votes, finishing third.
