Don't vote a candidate who insults, disrespects women - Adwoa Safo to NPP

Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the party’s upcoming flagbearer election not to vote for presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong.

Addressing party supporters, Adwoa Safo questioned the suitability of electing a candidate she says has a history of verbally attacking women.

“Are you going to elect a candidate who insults women? How will women vote? Are you going to cast your vote for someone who insults women? Didn’t Hon Kennedy Agyapong insult me when my issue came up?” she asked.

Adwoa Safo also recalled the insults directed at her by Agyapong, saying he called her “disrespectful,” accused her of misusing taxpayers’ money, and claimed she was being “pampered by President Akufo-Addo.”

She added that Agyapong also criticised her father for not being able to “sanction or discipline” her.

“He said I am disrespectful, that I have spent taxpayers’ money, and that I am being pampered by Akufo-Addo. He said I was useless and that my father couldn’t sanction or discipline me. He said these things, and the videos are there,” she recalled.

Safo warned that electing Agyapong could be politically damaging for the NPP, as she believes the opposition could exploit his past actions.

“If you don’t listen and go ahead to elect him, that will be a problem. The NDC is waiting for you [delegates] to elect him so they can use his records and videos of insulting people, including me, the mother of his two kids, and so imagine what he will do to you,” she cautioned.
