Member of parliament representing Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo showed compassion by providing breakfast hampers to senior delegates taking part in the 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary.
At the Atomic Down Park voting place, the sitting member of parliament and her staff fed the delegates rice porridge and bread to make sure they were full before they cast their votes.
The heartwarming gesture gained widespread attention on social media platforms, with photos and videos of the breakfast distribution going viral.
As the NPP parliamentary primary commenced nationwide on Saturday, January 27, Sarah Adwoa Safo, who is seeking re-election, aimed to connect with her constituency ahead of the upcoming 2024 general election.
While some online reactions expressed appreciation for the MP’s thoughtful act, others voiced scepticism and diverse opinions.
Critics raised concerns about the transparency of the food distribution, while supporters lauded Safo’s efforts to connect with and win over the delegates through this compassionate gesture.
This election pits her against a formidable opponent, Michael Oquaye Jnr, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, who narrowly lost to her in the 2020 contest.
Adding a new dimension to the competition is Sheela Oppong Sakyi, a legal practitioner and strategist at the Office of the First Lady, introducing fresh dynamics to an already intense race for the Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat.
