Adwoa Safo urges NPP to reevaluate strategies after election loss

The Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya Sarah Adwoa Safo has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to undertake strategic reforms following the NPP's recent defeat in the 2024 general election. 

Speaking at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) today December 16th 2024, Ms Adwoa Safo emphasised the need for the party to reassess its strategies to regain lost ground."We need to critically evaluate other constituencies and strategise for future elections," she noted.

Ms Adwoa Safo, who held the Dome-Kwabenya seat since 2012, was unseated in the NPP primaries by Mike Oquaye Jnr in the NPP parliamentary primaries.

Ms Safo also addressed criticisms regarding her involvement in the party's efforts to secure the seat and reiterated her commitment to the party and her constituents.

She explained that she took a back seat during the parliamentary campaign because she wanted to give her opponent the space to work and rather join the national campaign to get Dr Mahamudu Bawumia elected as president. 

"From the moment I lost that seat in my primary, I made it clear that I would be joined in the national campaign. I was not wavering about that. Because when you have been an MP for 12 years, you still have your supporters, you still have people moving around you," she explained.

"I think that my influence is still there. And I want to give my opponent the way and the room and the space to enjoy it and to work the way he wants to work. Not the way I want the constituency to follow suit," she said.
