The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has announced her decision to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
The former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection made this declaration while engaging with her constituents, stating, “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.”
This comes after she lost the NPP parliamentary primary held on Saturday, April 13, where she received 152 votes, while Christopher Arthur won the nomination with 240 votes.
Despite this setback, Morrison, who has been dedicated to the development of Agona West, urged her constituents to support her independent bid.
“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.
Cynthia Morrison first won the Agona West seat in the 2016 general elections and was re-elected in 2020 as the NPP parliamentary candidate, securing 30,513 votes out of a total of 59,193 valid votes cast.
