The incumbent Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has spoken out about her decision to run as an independent candidate after losing the NPP primaries.

Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Madam Morrison said, “If the party does not want me, I want myself, and the people around me want me.”

According to her, some elements in the party in the constituency instigated people to protest against her but she added that she maintains strong relationships with everyone, regardless of their political affiliation.

“I know many from the NDC who support me. Even NDC members have hugged me and asked for food. I relate with all of them. Some NDC people call me,” she said.

Reflecting on her treatment, she stated that others disrespected and attacked her miserably during the election.

“A PC whom I fed and supported with money for his children’s education attacked me publicly, and national executives did nothing about it. They even used police personnel to intimidate me,” she said.

Despite these challenges, Madam Morrison stressed the positive interactions she has had.

“Even when I was submitting my forms, those who saw me hugged me and took pictures with me, including NDC members. I am an MP for Agona West, not just for the NPP, and everyone, even from the NDC, loves me. I am a mother to my constituents.”

Madam Morrison’s decision to run independently comes after her defeat in the NPP parliamentary primaries on April 13, where she secured 152 votes against Chris Arthur’s 240 votes.
