Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has firmly stated that she and her colleagues in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not resign until Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becomes the president of Ghana.

Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse programme on Thursday, March 20, she expressed her unwavering belief in Dr Bawumia’s leadership abilities, saying he truly deserves the presidency.

"Dr Bawumia is a humble and honest individual. He has many commendable qualities, and if Ghanaians are given the opportunity to support him once more and we effectively market him, he can successfully assume the presidency," Adwoa Safo said. "He has the capability to lead this country."

She then drew a parallel to the early criticism faced by former President Akufo-Addo during his initial presidential campaigns.

"What didn’t Ghanaians say about former President Akufo-Addo? They claimed he would never become president, that he was arrogant, and so on," she recalled. "Despite all of that criticism, the party stood by him, and he eventually became president."

Reflecting on the history of the party, Adwoa Safo pointed out how the NPP responded to the loss of the 2007 election.

"When we lost the 2007 election, we acknowledged that it was a judgment on President Kufuor’s governance. He quietly accepted it, made no excuses, and simply went home," she said. "He didn’t resist or try to shift the blame."

She continued by addressing the current situation, urging the party to accept responsibility for their recent electoral loss.

"Now, after our recent defeat, some in the party seem reluctant to accept that our loss is a reflection of our governance and actions," she said. "Why is it so difficult for them to swallow that bitter pill?"

She emphasised that the party must face the truth, correct the mistakes that led to the loss, and rally behind Dr Bawumia as their candidate for the future.

"We must take responsibility, fix what went wrong, and bring Dr Bawumia back as our candidate," she stated. "Ghanaians will support him."
