The former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has spoken out about her recent loss in the parliamentary primaries, claiming that her defeat was a result of a misunderstanding by her party.

Speaking on Asempa FM's Ekosiisen, Madam Safo expressed that her actions had been misinterpreted, leading the party to punish her, ultimately costing her the chance to contest in the primaries.

“That’s what I think the party misunderstood me on and decided to punish me, and that cost me my primaries,” she said on Tuesday, February 18, reflecting on the events leading up to her removal from the race.

The former MP explained that her defeat was orchestrated by party officials who believed she had not treated them well, despite her efforts to demonstrate remorse for any past mistakes.

Despite her remorseful actions, she felt that the perception of her conduct led to her exclusion from the primaries.

The MP also drew attention to a broader issue, one that has been a source of concern within Ghana's political landscape.

“That is why I stated earlier that we have fewer female lawmakers in Parliament,” Safo remarked, hinting that her treatment might be part of a larger trend affecting women in politics.
