Election 2024: NPP’s Cynthia Morrison goes independent

Agona West’s Member of Parliament, Cynthia Morrison, has officially announced her intention to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.

During a recent interaction with her constituents, the former Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection emphasised her focus on the development of Agona.

“God willing, I would be contesting the parliamentary election as an independent candidate. It is not about the NDC, and it is not about the NPP. It is about the development of Agona.”

This decision follows her defeat in the NPP parliamentary primary on April 13, where she secured 152 votes, losing to Christopher Arthur, who received 240 votes.

Despite this outcome, Morrison remains committed to her constituency and has called on residents to support her independent candidacy.

“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,” she added.

Morrison first won the Agona West seat in the 2016 general elections and was re-elected in 2020 with 30,513 votes out of a total of 59,193 valid votes cast.
