The sitting Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has announced her intention to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections as an independent candidate.
Morrison, a prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, made this declaration during an interaction with her constituents.
“God willing, I would be contesting the parliamentary election as an independent candidate. It is not about the NDC, and it is not about the NPP. It is about the development of Agona,” Morrison stated, underlining her commitment to prioritizing the needs of her constituency over party affiliations.
Her decision comes after losing the NPP parliamentary primary on Saturday, April 13. Morrison received 152 votes, while her opponent, Christopher Arthur, secured 240 votes, winning the party’s nomination for the Agona West seat in the upcoming elections.
Despite her defeat in the primaries, Morrison is determined to continue her political journey by running independently, with the aim of developing her constituency.
“I don’t care whether you vote for former President John Dramani Mahama or Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. But the most important thing is for you to vote massively for Cynthia Morrison so I can come and complete the work I started,” she added.
