The Ghana Free Zones Authority’s CEO, Mike Ocquaye Jnr., has declared that he will run for the Dome Kwabenya seat once more.
He declared that he would pick up nomination forms and run when the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) opens nominations in January.
His announcement of intent follows Adwoa Safo’s struggles in the constituency, where it appears she won’t be able to hold onto the seat.
“I want to inform the people of Dome-Kwabenya through your medium that as soon as there is the opening for picking up forms and filing of nominations, I, Mike Mike Ocquaye Jnr., will stand to represent the people of Dome-Kwabenya,” he disclosed this on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo.’
In the 2020 NPP primary, incumbent MP Sarah Adwoa Safo defeated Mike Ocquaye Jnr.
Concurrently, Adwoa Safo, the former gender minister and MP for Dome Kwabenya, revealed the difficulties she and her family endured personally and unconditionally apologized to the NPP in a Facebook video post.
She clarified that the difficult issues she was dealing with on a personal level in her private life were what were driving these feelings.
Meanwhile, 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.
