Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North constituency, Gifty Twin Ampofo, has refuted reports that she intends to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections as an independent candidate.
The lawmaker said it would be politically unwise and ungrateful for her to ditch her party and contest as independent.
She said the President has allowed her to serve as deputy minister for seven years and also benefitted a lot from the party; hence, any attempt to contest as an independent candidate will amount to greed, betrayal, and disloyalty.
Speaking in a media interview, Madam Ampofo added that she had had the opportunity to travel across the world due to the appointment she was given, and so she will forever remain grateful to the president and her party.
“President Akufo-Addo allowed me to serve as a deputy minister and part of his executive for seven years. I have also served as MP for eight years. So if the government and my party have granted me this opportunity, I cannot betray my party and go and contest as an independent candidate.
Through this government and the party, I have travelled across different parts of the world. If I am to count the countries I have travelled to, I would have to count my fingers, toes, and teeth and will still be counting. I am extremely grateful to my party, and I will not even consider contesting as an independent candidate. Whatever the case is, I have served; others would have to be given the opportunity to also serve.”
She quoted Romans 8:28 to console herself, saying for those who love God, all things work together for good.
