Adwoa Safo Returns to Contest Dome-Kwabenya Seat After Missing Out on Bawumia’s Running Mate Slot

Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo has announced plans to contest the parliamentary seat in the 2028 general elections, signalling her intention to return to active parliamentary politics.

Her decision comes amid discussions about the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) preparations for the next general election and speculation surrounding the selection of a running mate for the party’s presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Adwoa Safo previously served as the Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya and held ministerial positions under the Akufo-Addo administration. Her political career has included significant involvement in parliamentary affairs and government administration.

Her latest announcement indicates that she intends to seek the NPP’s parliamentary candidacy for the constituency ahead of the 2028 polls.

However, the claim that her decision to contest the seat is directly linked to being overlooked for the running mate position has not been independently established. Her announcement, as presented, confirms her parliamentary ambition but does not necessarily establish the reason behind it.

Dome-Kwabenya remains an important constituency within the Greater Accra Region, and the party’s parliamentary primaries are expected to determine who represents the NPP in the next general election.

Should Adwoa Safo formally enter the contest, she could face competition from other party members seeking the same nomination. The eventual outcome will depend on the internal electoral process and the choices of eligible delegates.

Her return bid is likely to attract attention among NPP supporters as the party begins positioning itself for the 2028 elections.

For now, her stated ambition is to contest the Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat, while questions surrounding the party’s eventual running mate selection remain a separate political issue.
