Sarah Adwoa Safo, the NPP’s representative for the Dome-Kwabenya constituency, has finally spoken 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.
“I’ve already met a lot of you at home and explained why you didn’t hear from me over a year and a half. I know that being my mothers,sisters and aunties; you understand certain things.
“As a woman sometimes you need to go through what women go through or do what women do. What really accounted for my absence, I know it is slanted but not broken.
“A long the line, my first male child suffered certain a illness and I had to leave, which in my thinking was supposed to be for a short time to go and fix my home. But the devil who had other plans against God’s work, did not allow things go that way,” she explained.

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.
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.
