Stephen Ntim, the national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has backed Adwoa Safo’s recent apologies and emphasised that it is an important milestone in her political career.
Ntim emphasised that Adwoa Safo is making the right decision by apologising as a party member.
“Adwoa Safo’s apology is due; I firmly back her goal since she is aware that the NPP is the only party to which she is a member. So, she is acting what was expected of her, including making the apology, according to Chairman Ntim.
He did, however, make it clear that the party delegates had the last say on Adwoa Safo’s bid for the parliamentary seat and her future return to the chamber.
“If the constituents accept her to be an MP once again despite all that has gone on, I as Chairman and the rest of the party leadership will back her with our spirits to become an MP. So, her fate rests in the hands of Dome-Kwabenya delegates, from polling station to the constituency level,” Chairman Ntim affirmed.
Adwoa Safo, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, on Thursday, September 14, rendered a public apology to the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), especially the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and other party officials.
She explained that she was struggling with both personal and family issues during her extended absence from Parliament.
Adwoa Safo was absent from her post for over a year after travelling to the United States. Her seat became vacant, with some MPs calling for her seat to be declared vacant.
She was dragged to the Privileges Committee of Parliament in 2022 and invited on several occasions but failed to appear before the committee.
