Cynthia Morrison, the member of parliament for Agona West for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced that she will run as an independent in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
During a conversation with residents, the former Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection made this announcement.
“If all goes well, I plan to run as an independent in the parliamentary election.” It has nothing to do with the NPP or the NDC. It has to do with Agona’s development,” she said.
This follows her defeat in Saturday, April 13’s NPP parliamentary primary.
With a total of 240 votes, Christopher Arthur defeated Madam Morrison with 152 votes, earning the nomination for the Parliamentary candidate.
Nonetheless, the MP has urged voters to back her candidacy as an independent as she cares deeply about the growth of Agona West.
She stated:
“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,”
The seat was won by Cynthia Morrison in the general elections of 2016 elections.
She ran as the NPP’s parliamentary candidate in the 2020 election and received 30,513 votes out of 59,193 valid votes polled to win a second four-year term.
