The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has declared her intention to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections as an independent candidate.
The former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection announced this during an interaction with 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,” she stated.
This comes after she lost the NPP parliamentary primary held on Saturday, April 13.
Madam Morrison garnered 152 votes, while Christopher Arthur emerged victorious with 240 votes, securing the nomination as the Parliamentary candidate.
However, as someone who has the development of Agona West at heart, the MP has called on constituents to support her bid as an independent candidate.
“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 won the seat during the 2016 general elections.
In the 2020 elections, she contested as the NPP parliamentary candidate and was elected for a second four-year term, garnering 30,513 votes out of a total of 59,193 valid votes cast.
