This follows an earlier directive from the NPP cautioning members against public statements that could create division within the party.

In a statement on March 20, 2025, the party said Safo’s comments defied party directives and undermined efforts to rebuild.

“As she is aware, the directive explicitly states that all party members must cease discussing party issues that create unrest, negativism, and disaffection in the media and other related platforms. Her actions are not only in disregard of this directive but also undermine the Party’s efforts to rebuild and move forward."

Adwoa Safo's media tour

Safo captured media attention after a media tour where she touched on her time as a legislator, fissures within the New Patriotic Party and major controversies in Parliament.

She criticised the NPP alleging that she was disrespected and insulted by party members.

She also claimed she was mocked as the daughter of an uneducated farmer, expressing frustration over how she was treated.

Revelations around the e-levy vote

Safo said she abstained from voting on the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) in 2022 because she felt it would not help Ghana. This has raised more questions than answers given there was a masked woman in her seat during the vote.

At the time, the NPP side of Parliament was accused of bringing in an imposter to cast a deciding vote on the e-levy given the single seat difference between the two caucuses in Parliament.

Safo maintained that she was in Parliament for the vote during an interview on Asempa FM.

Adwoa Safo is out of Parliament because she lost her constituency NPP primary to Mike Oquaye Jnr after years of controversy brought on by her leave of absence in the US and her eventual sacking from the gender minister portfolio and demotion in Parliament.

Delegates in Dome-Kwabenya voiced overwhelming opposition to Adwoa Safo and called for a change in the build-up to the January 27 2024 primary.

Some of them described Adwoa Safo as a TikTok MP because of the content she had posted there and reminded of her long absence from her role as a legislator.
