Cynthia Morrison refutes claims of not contesting as independent candidate

The Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Mamle Morrison, has debunked reports that she has reconsidered her decision to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 general elections.

This follows the circulation of some photos showing her with some New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs at Parliament’s Job 600 office on October 22, 2024.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 22 2024, she reaffirmed her commitment to running independently in the pending parliamentary election.

“We wish to categorically state that these reports are false and do not reflect the Hon MP’s current position or intentions. Hon. Cynthia Mamle Morrison, the sitting MP for Agona West, remains committed to serving the constituents and has made no such announcement retracting their decision to run independently.

"The Hon. MP’s dedication to improving the lives of the people of Agona West and advocating for the constituency’s development continues to be the foremost priority. Any claims suggesting otherwise are attempts to distort the facts and misinform the public,” the statement said.

She urged the media to dismiss such reports as she remains focused on contesting as an independent candidate.

"We urge the media and the general public to disregard these baseless claims and rely only on official statements and verified sources for accurate information. Hon. Cynthia Mamle Morrison remains focused on championing the needs and aspirations of the people of Agona West, with the aim of providing sustainable development and inclusive governance.

"As the election season draws closer, we encourage supporters and constituents to remain vigilant and not fall prey to propaganda or false news aimed at misleading the electorate, it added.
