The former MP told the press she was not given official notice of the suspension of the hearing.
"I haven't been personally served. I haven't seen anything with my security guard that tells me that anything has been postponed."
She said she had been with her lawyers preparing for the hearing. Safo later said she had met with some party officials and expressed disappointment at the failures in communication.
"I was asking myself why was I served on Sunday to appear when there is no committee sitting?"
Adwoa Safo's referral to NPP's disciplinary committee
Safo criticised some elements of the party during a media tour in March. Her remarks came as the NPP cautioned its 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.
A notice, jointly signed by Patrick Boamah, Secretary to the Disciplinary Committee, and William Yamoah, Director of Finance and Administration, was issued on March 24, 2025.
During Safo's media tour, 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.

Safo is out of Parliament because she lost her constituency primary to Mike Oquaye Jr after years of controversy brought on by her leave of absence in the US, her eventual sacking from the gender minister portfolio, and her 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 on the platform. They also recounted her long absence from her role as a legislator.
NPP bigwigs storm Adwoa Safo's house
At the height of the controversy, YEN.com.gh reported that some bigwigs of the NPP went to Safo's house to prevent her from attending a scheduled interview with Kessben FM in Accra.
This move, according to the report, was to prevent the former MP and Gender Minister from further tarnishing the party's image in public.
The news that Safo had been ambushed by her party's leaders triggered public condemnation of the NPP.
