Member of Parliament for the Dome Kwabenya Constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has declined addressing speculations surrounding the alleged involvement of her children’s father, Ghanaian politician and businessman Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, in her loss of the parliamentary seat to Mike Oquaye Jnr.
Her comment comes after Ghanaian politician and businessman prior to the primaries made series of damning and troubling allegations against the mother of 2.
Among the allegations are claims that Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare had provided her with GHS120,000 and demanded to be appointed Deputy Majority Leader before attending Parliament. However, she has today cleared up describing such comments as false and “lies”.
“It’s all lies,” asserted Adwoa Safo, referring to Agyapong’s claims. “Kennedy Agyapong has rendered an apology to me. You can come to parliament to interview him on the matter.”
During an interview with Nana Yaa Brefo and JB on Onua FM Monday, Match 11, 2024, Adwoa Safo refrained from attributing her defeat to her children’s father or any individual, instead, she cited divine will as the determining factor, emphasising her belief in God’s plans for her future.
She opted not to comment further on the matter for the sake of the children she has with Kennedy Agyapong.
“For the sake of the children, I would rather not comment. However, a human being cannot determine the fate of another human being, what God has said about you, is what will be fulfilled, I believe that God has good plans for me regardless whatever has happened,” she said.
She lost her parliamentary seat to Mike Oquaye Jnr. in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries.
Adwoa Safo, who has represented the Dome-Kwabenya constituency since 2012, faced a formidable challenge from Mike Oquaye Jnr, son of the former Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye.
The primary, held on Saturday, January 27, saw Mike Oquaye Jnr securing a significant 1,194 votes, ultimately surpassing Adwoa Safo to become the NPP parliamentary candidate for Dome-Kwabenya.
Despite her defeat, Safo expressed respect for the “party’s decision and the deligates’ choice for a new leader to head the party towards victory in the 2024 general elections” adding that although she’s lost her seat, she will re-contest again in the next elections.
