"I just want to tell the NPP delegates to remember their sister in the upcoming primaries. I want to retain the seat, that is why I am going to contest for the seat. I want the delegates to give me the opportunity to represent them again," Safo said in Twi.

After her long absence, she resumed her parliamentary duties briefly in November 2022 before missing out again.

This is not the first time Adwoa Safo has communicated her intention to contest again despite the seeming loss in her popularity.

In September this year, Adwoa Safo disclosed that she wanted to return to Parliament in 2024.

She said she had already informed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of her re-election plans.

The Dome-Kwabenya MP recently apologised to the President and the NPP after recent long-term absences from Parliament and from her appointment as Gender Minister without permission.
