Former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has announced her intention to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries to represent the constituency again.

In a statement dated Thursday, October 22, 2026, the former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection said her decision followed considerable reflection, consultations and engagements with party leadership and executives.

She said although she had earlier indicated her intention to pursue opportunities beyond the constituency, she had reconsidered and concluded that representing the interests of her constituents in Parliament remained her priority.

“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.

Mrs Safo said her decision was driven by her enduring commitment to the constituency and her conviction that she still had more to contribute to its development.

She described Dome-Kwabenya as one of Ghana’s fastest-growing constituencies, with significant opportunities as well as considerable developmental challenges.

Reflecting on her 12 years as MP, she said she had worked with residents, party members, community and religious leaders and other stakeholders to address some of the constituency’s challenges and deliver development.

“While much remains to be done, I remain committed to building on the progress we made together and work tirelessly towards a better future for Dome-Kwabenya,” she added.
