Adwoa Safo Says Dome-Kwabenya Constituents Influenced Her Decision to Seek NPP Ticket Again

Former Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister Sarah Adwoa Safo has attributed her decision to seek the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary ticket for Dome-Kwabenya once more to the persistent appeals of her constituents. According to JoyNews, the sitting lawmaker explained that the calls from party members and residents in the constituency played a central role in her return to the contest, describing the move as a response to grassroots demand rather than a personal ambition.

Adwoa Safo indicated that her engagement with the people of Dome-Kwabenya convinced her that many still believe in her leadership and want her to continue representing them in Parliament. She stressed that the encouragement she received from opinion leaders, party executives and ordinary voters weighed heavily on her final decision, and she expressed gratitude for the confidence reposed in her by the constituents she has served.

The development adds a fresh dimension to the internal contest for the Dome-Kwabenya seat, which has attracted significant public interest in recent years. Adwoa Safo’s political journey in the constituency has been closely watched, and her decision to re-enter the race is expected to intensify jockeying among aspirants ahead of the party’s primaries. Supporters say her record and visibility in the area give her a strong footing.

The former minister urged party members to conduct the upcoming internal processes with unity and discipline, calling for a campaign built on ideas rather than division. She emphasised that the NPP’s strength in Dome-Kwabenya depends on cohesion, and she appealed to delegates and executives to prioritise the party’s interest as they prepare to choose a candidate capable of retaining the seat.

Adwoa Safo’s announcement is likely to shape the political conversation in Dome-Kwabenya and beyond as the NPP prepares for its parliamentary primaries. With constituents reportedly urging her on, the coming weeks will reveal how the party’s structures respond and whether her candidacy reshapes the competition for one of the country’s most closely followed constituencies.
