Sarah Adwoa Safo, former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament, claims Kristo Asafo members did not vote for Mike Oquaye Jnr in the 2024 parliamentary elections because he used derogatory remarks about her father.
The three-time Member of Parliament noted that the NPP 2024 Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament stood on campaign platforms to call his father names, telling the constituents Apostle Safo is an illiterate, who, unlike his father, is not a known political figure in the country.
Upon all this, Adwoa Safo wondered why Mike Oquaye Junior expected members of his father’s church to vote for him in the parliamentary contest.Â
Apostle Kojo Safo is a known personality in the country, particularly in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency. A lot of people in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency and are members of the Kristo Asafo, underscoring his significance in the constituency.
The NPP’s unexpected defeat in the Dome-Kwabenya contest was attributed to the refusal of the Kristo Safo members to vote for Mike Ocquaye Junior.Â
Speaking on Accra-based Joy News, the former Gender Minister expressed shock that, despite using derogatory remarks on his father, Mike Oquaye was expecting members of his church to cast their ballots in his favour.
She touted the achievements of her father, particularly for the less privileged in society, noting that he has been instrumental in the well-being of many Ghanaians. According to her, despite her father’s educational background, he has paid his dues to the country and should not be disrespected.
“You [Mike Ocquaye Jnr] called my father a nobody and a farmer, yet wonder why Kristo Asafo members didn’t vote for you? We revere our father!” She said.
