Dome/Kwabenya MP
June 1, 2022
Constituency Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome/Kwabenya constituency, Ansah Larbi said the new crop of Executives are going to break the eight (8) with or without their lawmaker, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
According to him the least said about their MP the better, adding that they have been managing without her, and their plans have been going on and not centred around their MP, “else we would fail, I say this categorically”
As to whether he was aware the Dome/Kwabenya MP has received a message to appear before the Privilege Committee, but the MP during a recent interview indicated that she was hearing of her being invited in the media, he responded saying; “I do not work in Parliament, so whatever the MPs and leadership of the House think is right they should do, we are working as a party executives, as far as I am concerned, I am not talking much about the MP, the party would succeed without her and is simple as ABC”.
When questioned about floating voters in the constituency he noted that Sarah Adowa Sarfo is not the first MP on the ticket in the constituency; “when she came the party already occupied the seat for two terms”, he added.
The secretary was confident that what the constituents are looking for is development projects, in terms of roads, health and security; and as far as the party is putting economic infrastructure in place and is improving on their social-economic life, and is what they are looking for, they would not be looking at an individual to vote for.
He, however, admitted that though they have been managing the constituency without the MP, they need her in the constituency; that is why they voted for her, they voted for her to carry out her responsibility.
On their chances of winning the seat in 2024, he noted that they are on the ground and trying to address what constituents want and addressing issues in that direction. “We would listen to them and we would not say our MP is not around so we would throw our hands in the air”.
