Sarah Adwoa Safo, former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, has announced her candidacy in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary for Dome-Kwabenya. The announcement comes as Mike Oquaye Jr, a prominent local figure, claims he can reclaim the constituency in 2028. Safo’s bid follows the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 elections, where 28,000 voters stayed home. Oquaye Jr attributes the loss to voter apathy, suggesting a lack of engagement among the electorate. The NPP is expected to release its primary timetable soon, setting the stage for a competitive internal race. Both candidates are vying for a chance to represent the party in the next parliamentary elections. The Dome-Kwabenya constituency remains a key battleground for the NPP, with both figures drawing support from different segments of the local population. The outcome of this primary could influence the party’s strategy ahead of the 2028 elections. The political landscape in the area is closely watched, with analysts noting the significance of the contest for the NPP’s future.
