Adwoa Safo Finally Breaks Silence on 2028 Elections – Announces Comeback for Dome-Kwabenya NPP Primaries

By http://KasoaNews.com

Former Deputy Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo, has finally broken her silence on her political future ahead of the 2028 general elections, announcing her intention to contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries.

Her major announcement, which was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by SIKAOFFICIAL, has set the political landscape in Dome-Kwabenya ablaze, signaling her desire to make a strong comeback to Parliament after a period of absence and controversy.

Adwoa Safo’s Comeback Announcement

In a detailed statement, Adwoa Safo explained that her decision to contest again did not come lightly. According to her, it followed extensive consultations and engagements with party leaders, key stakeholders, family members, and her loyal supporters in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency.

She revealed that although she had earlier considered pursuing opportunities beyond the constituency, including private ventures and other national assignments, she had taken time to reflect deeply and has now reconsidered her plans.

After careful thought, she concluded that representing her constituents in Parliament remains her greatest priority and calling.

“I have listened, I have consulted, and I have reflected,” she is quoted as saying in her statement. “My heart remains with the people of Dome-Kwabenya, and I believe I still have a lot to offer them in Parliament.”

This announcement marks a significant turning point for the former MP, whose political career has been marked by both remarkable achievements and challenging moments that have attracted national attention.

Why This Announcement Matters For NPP

The announcement is an extremely important development for the New Patriotic Party as the party begins preparations for the next general election in 2028.

The NPP is currently in opposition after losing the 2024 elections, and the party is undergoing a period of rebuilding, reflection, and restructuring ahead of the next contest.

Parliamentary primaries often play a major role in shaping a party’s chances in the general elections, especially in strongholds like Dome-Kwabenya. Dome-Kwabenya has traditionally been a safe seat for the NPP, but in recent elections, the constituency has become increasingly competitive, requiring candidates who can not only win the party’s primaries but also unite the party and appeal to floating voters.

Adwoa Safo’s decision to enter the race will therefore test her political strength, her grassroots connection, and the loyalty of her delegate base. It also raises critical questions: How will NPP members in Dome-Kwabenya respond to her comeback? Has she maintained her political base? Can she convince delegates that she deserves a second chance?

Who Is Adwoa Safo? A Political Profile

Sarah Adwoa Safo is not a newcomer to Ghanaian politics. She is one of the most prominent female politicians in the NPP and has served in several high-profile positions.

She served as the Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya for three consecutive terms, from 2013 to 2025. During her time in Parliament, she rose through the ranks to become Deputy Majority Leader, a position that made her one of the most powerful women in the legislative house.

She also served as Minister of State in charge of Public Procurement and later as Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection under the Akufo-Addo administration.

Her political career has been marked by her eloquence, her legal background, and her strong advocacy for women’s issues. However, it has also attracted public attention and controversy, particularly during her extended absence from Parliament in 2022, which led to her seat being declared vacant and triggered a by-election conversation.

Despite those challenges, she remains a household name in Ghanaian politics, and any decision about her future in Parliament naturally becomes a subject of intense interest among party supporters and political observers across the country.

What Happens Next In Dome-Kwabenya?

Adwoa Safo’s decision to seek the party’s nomination could bring renewed competition in Dome-Kwabenya, particularly if other NPP members decide to contest the same seat.

Currently, the seat is held by the NPP after the 2024 elections, but with the party now in opposition, the battle for who represents the party in 2028 will be fierce. Already, political analysts in Accra are speculating that other young and ambitious NPP members in Dome-Kwabenya, including some who contested against her in the past, may also enter the race to challenge her.

However, as of now, the available information does not confirm who else may enter the race or how strong the opposition within the party might be. What is clear is that the NPP primaries in Dome-Kwabenya will be one of the most watched primaries in the Greater Accra Region.

For Adwoa Safo, the main challenge will be to convince party delegates that she deserves another opportunity to represent the constituency. Her experience in Parliament, her previous achievements in terms of infrastructure and youth support in Dome-Kwabenya, and her national profile may appeal to some delegates.

On the other hand, other delegates may want to critically assess her record, her political plans for the next four years, and her commitment to local concerns before making a final choice. She will need to embark on a vigorous campaign, reconnecting with polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, and the grassroots base that she once commanded.

Her Statement On Other Opportunities

In her statement, Adwoa Safo also hinted that she had considered opportunities outside the constituency. While she did not provide further details about what those other opportunities were, political insiders believe she may have been considering roles in the private sector, international organizations, or even a bigger national role within the NPP.

However, her statement that she has now chosen to prioritize Dome-Kwabenya suggests that her connection to the constituency remains strong and that she believes her political future is still tied to the people who first elected her.

Conclusion: Road To 2028

As the 2028 elections draw closer, the New Patriotic Party will have to manage internal competition carefully while preparing to face strong political opponents from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other parties. How the party handles its primaries, especially in key constituencies like Dome-Kwabenya, will be crucial to its wider election strategy and its chances of returning to power.

For Adwoa Safo, this is more than just a political comeback. It is a chance to rewrite her political story, to reconnect with her constituents, and to prove that she still has what it takes to lead.

The people of Dome-Kwabenya will ultimately decide. The countdown to the NPP primaries has begun.
