National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim has described the embattled Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo's public apology to the party and her constituents as appropriate and in order.
Mr Ntim says the apology emphasises that the MP has regretted her conduct.
According to him, Adwoa Safo did what was required of her (with her apology) and the party welcomed it.
“Adwoa Safo’s apology is in order; I really support her objective because she knows the NPP is the only party she belongs to. So, she is doing what is expected of her, I mean the apology and all that,” Chairman Ntim said.
However, Mr Ntim added that she is still a member of the party and whether she will return to Parliament depends on her constituents.
“If the constituents accept her to be an MP once again despite all that has gone on, I as Chairman and the rest of the party leadership will back her with our spirits to become an MP.
"So, her fate rests in the hands of Dome-Kwabenya delegates, from polling station to the constituency level,” Chairman Ntim added.
The former Gender Minister in a video posted on Facebook on September 14, apologised to the NPP for the controversies she caused during her extended absence from parliamentary duties.
She acknowledged her actions were unjustified and expressed regret, citing personal challenges.
She apologised to President Akufo-Addo, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, the Chief of Staff, parliamentary leadership, the party hierarchy and her constituents.
“It was not my intention to disrespect you. There was a lot going on in my life and family. I’m using this medium to plead for your forgiveness in the name of God,” she said.
Adwoa Safo’s absence from parliament was one of the most discussed topics in the country in 2022 which left the house and party divided.
The discussion came on the back of her leaving the country in November 2021.
