The incumbent MP for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo who recently lost the mandate to contest the upcoming 2024 parliamentary election on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has debunked claims that she intends to run as an independent candidate in the elections.

Sarah Adwoa Safo said despite losing the primary in the January 28 polls, she remains committed to the values of the NPP and is determined to cooperate with the party on its quest to ‘break the 8’ in December 2024.

Taking to her Facebook page on January 30, she said “I wish to clarify, that despite the setback and outcome of last Saturday’s parliamentary primaries in Dome-Kwabenya, I remain steadfast in my commitment to the shared values of the New Patriotic Party and our corporate quest to break the 8 with H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia come December 7, 2024.

She continued that having represented the people of Dome Kwabenya for three consecutive terms on the ticket of the NPP, she remains committed to the values of the party.

“For the avoidance of doubt and without any shred of ambiguity, I reiterate that I have no intention whatsoever of running as an Independent Candidate in the upcoming December 7, 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections and for that matter, at any point in the foreseeable future.”

The Dome-Kwabenya MP expressed her appreciation to the Polling Station Executives for allowing her to serve her constituents for 12 years.

She also assured the party that in the remaining months up to when she hands over to her successor, she would continue to work hard to serve the interest of the people and the party at large.

"For the next few months, I remain dedicated to working collaboratively with the Leadership of the party in the constituency in collectively pursuing goals to unite us for the task ahead in campaigning to maximise our votes for both Parliamentary and Presidential candidates and in Parliament, to execute Government business expeditiously," she added.
