Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has disclosed that she faced repercussions for endorsing her fellow MP, Kennedy Agyapong, in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2023 presidential primaries.
Despite the penalties, Morrison expressed no regret for backing Agyapong. While she did not elaborate on the specific nature of her punishment, she emphasized that 80% of her challenges stemmed from her support for him.
She made these remarks while reflecting on her unsuccessful bid to retain the Agona West seat as the NPP’s candidate for the 2024 elections.
During an interview with Adom FM on September 11, 2024, Morrison shared, “After I returned from abroad, my people urged me to run as an independent candidate… I didn’t have Bawumia’s T-shirt because, as you know, I supported Kennedy Agyapong.”
“That is why people are coming against me, but I have not regretted it one bit. Throughout the campaign period, I knew Dr. Bawumia would win, and if he wins, I will support him as an NPP member.
“But others don’t understand it that way and question why I did that, so I have to be punished. But that is not my concern at all. I have told you I have no regret for doing that at all. My support for Kennedy orchestrated 80% of my punishment.”
Madam Cynthia Morrison has officially registered as an independent candidate to run in the upcoming parliamentary election.
