The three-term lawmaker, Sarah Adwoa Safo has announced that she would run in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries in 2019.
After touring her district, Sarah Adwoa Safo told reporters that she had already notified the party of her intention to run again. “Politics is a game of numbers, if it’s the will of God and the people want me, I will run again,” Adwoa Safo said.
Adwoa Safo claimed in a recent interview that the Dome-Kwabenya people still respect her.
Despite having a difficult time in 2022 with her constituents, she stated that she is still willing to stand for election in the future to represent them.
“I still have a lot to do for my people and I have to take the pain to explain to them the reasons for my absence and when the time comes.
“I shall not desert my people, I shall represent them again by God’s grace, and I think that my people still love me,” she stated.
The former gender minister apologized to the NPP without reservation in a video posted on Facebook, outlining the difficulties she and her family had to deal with personally while she was away.
She cited the complicated personal challenges she was dealing with in her private life as the source of these emotions.
She extended the same apology to party supporters, voters, and sympathizers in addition to President Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the Chief of Staff, Parliamentary Leadership, and the party hierarchy.
Relatedly, following the apology from Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo to her constituents after her recent long absence from her duties, some residents have shared their varied views.
Some Dome-Kwabenya constituents have decided not to vote for her again after she abandoned her work and traveled to US.
According to some of the constituents, Adwoa Safo only came to apology because election is near. They cited some issues facing the Dome-Kwabenya constituency which she left unattended.
However, some residents accepted her apology and decided to giver her another chance.
