Yesterday, some market women at the Dome Market hooted and made unpleasant small talk with Sarah Adwoa Safo, the member of parliament for Dome Kwabenya for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The three-term lawmaker encountered some resistance when she tried to discuss some developmental issues in the constituency with the market women.
Some shoppers can be heard yelling “away, away” at the former Minister for Gender and Children Affairs in a video that has gone viral on social media.
Additionally, the market women chanted phrases like to express how they felt, “We want change” and “Adwoa Safo, we don’t want you again.”

One of the most talked-about issues in the nation in 2022 was Adwoa Safo’s exclusion from the parliament, which caused division within the house and party. The conversation followed her departure from the nation in November 2021.
Relatedly, Sarah Adwoa Safo finally spoke with her constituents about her prolonged absence from Parliament regarding the traders and market women in the Dome market enclave.
Sarah Adwoa Safo, who faced backlash from the public after breaking away from her pose for more than a year, claimed that she had to act in a woman’s natural way in the face of numerous difficulties, some of which even involved her children.
Adwoa Safo announced that she would run in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries in 2023.
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,” she said.
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.
