The Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat, one of the largest constituencies in Ghana, has been a hotbed for elections.
Sarah Adwoa Safo, a prominent Ghanaian lawyer and politician, entered parliament in 2012 and was seeking re-election to represent the party.
Born on December 28, 1981, Adwoa Safo holds an L.L.B from the University of Ghana, a B.L. from the Ghana Law School, and an L.L.M from George Washington University in the U.S.A.
She has served as the appointed Minister of State in charge of Government Procurement and Minister for the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Despite a period of absence lasting nearly a year, during which a void was felt in both parliament and the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Adwoa Safo remains a formidable candidate with a strong political and legal background.
