More than half of Dome Kwabenya electorates still want Adwoa Safo as their MP – Survey report
Despite all the brouhaha surrounding the legislator for Dome Kwabenya Sarah Adwoa Safo and her unrelenting absence from Parliament, it is interesting to note that almost half of the voters in her constituency still favour her.
According to a survey conducted by Global Info Analytics, 50.3 per cent of voters in her constituency are very likely or likely to still vote for the current legislator, whilst 30.6 per cent are very unlikely/unlikely to vote for the MP.
The survey also revealed that approximately 19.2 per cent of voters in her constituency say they are neutral while 29.7% of voters in the constituency believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, whilst 70.3% said it is headed in the right direction.
However, the survey pointed out that there is a possibility that, the incumbent MP will not be seeking re-election.
“The outcome of the 2024 race in this constituency will be determined by several factors, the strength of change, and the loyalty of voters to Adwoa Safo and how she exits as well as the influence of the Christo Asafo church members,” the survey said.
Recently, Adwoa Safo has been the subject of criticism because of her absence from Parliament and governance.
The Privileges Committee summoned her to appear before it on July 6, 2022, over her absenteeism.
It has been tasked by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to engage Adwoa Safo, Kennedy Agyapong and Henry Quartey over complaints of chronic absenteeism brought against them.
All three are expected to give justifiable reasons for their absenteeism, failure of which, actions will be taken to remove them from Parliament.
