Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo, has formally announced her decision to re-contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries for the constituency ahead of the next election cycle.
The announcement comes despite her earlier indication to seek political and professional opportunities outside the constituency.
In an official statement released on Thursday, October 22, 2026, the former lawmaker explained that her decision to return follows extensive consultations with party executives and stakeholders.
“After considerable reflection, extensive consultation and broad based engagement with party leadership and executives and guided by my own conviction and unwavering loyalty to the Principles and Values of our political tradition, I formally announce my intention to once again present myself for consideration as the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency when the party announces the timetable and guidelines for the parliamentary primaries,” she stated.
Acknowledging her earlier position, Adwoa Safo indicated that deeper reflection made her appreciate the duty of serving the people of Dome-Kwabenya in Parliament.
“Earlier, I had indicated my intention to pursue opportunities beyond the constituency. However, upon deeper reflection, I have come to appreciate that there is no greater honour or responsibility than serving and representing the interests and aspirations of the over two hundred thousand constituents of our beloved constituency in parliament,” she noted.
Highlighting her electoral performance during her twelve-year tenure as Member of Parliament, she recalled how the party moved from roughly 35,000 inherited votes in 2012 to 63,373 votes, before increasing the tally to 65,488 in 2016 and 75,041 in 2020.
She maintained that these voting figures reflected collective dedication and shared commitment rather than individual effort.
“These achievements are not mine alone. They reflect the dedication, sacrifice and commitment of every party member, supporter and constituent who believed in our shared vision for Dome-Kwabenya,” she added.
Adwoa Safo urged party members and constituents to engage with her in a spirit of openness, candour, and mutual respect as the party prepares for its upcoming internal contests.
