Adwoa Safo suffered a defeat in the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary primaries, losing to Mike Oquaye Jnr, the Chief Executive Officer of the Free Zones Authority. Oquaye Jnr emerged victorious with an impressive 1194 votes, surpassing Adwoa Safo’s 328 votes. Sheela Oppong Sakyi secured a distant third place with around 100 votes in the contested race.
This unexpected outcome is indicative of a shift in the political landscape of Dome-Kwabenya. Adwoa Safo, a prominent figure in the constituency and the New Patriotic Party, faced a significant challenge from Mike Oquaye Jnr, and the voters have shown their preference for new leadership. The loss of her parliamentary seat marks a noteworthy change in the dynamics of Dome-Kwabenya politics.
As a result of these developments, the Dome-Kwabenya constituency is expected to witness increased political activities and engagements as the various political parties prepare for the upcoming general elections. The defeat of a well-known incumbent MP and the rise of new political figures will likely lead to heightened interest and participation in the political process.
The decisive victory of Mike Oquaye Jnr and the shift in leadership in Dome-Kwabenya indicate a potential transformation in the constituency’s political landscape. As the electorate expresses a desire for change, it sets the stage for a competitive and spirited political environment leading up to the general elections.
This outcome underscores the importance of engaging with the electorate and understanding their evolving preferences and priorities. Oquaye Jnr’s victory and the diminished support for Adwoa Safo demonstrate the significance of connecting with constituents and responding to their needs and aspirations in the political arena.
