In a shocking turn of events, Cynthia Morrison, the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Agona West, has announced her intention to contest the 2024 parliamentary elections as an independent candidate. This comes after she lost the NPP parliamentary primary to Christopher Arthur.
Morrison, a former Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, made the announcement during a meeting with her constituents. She emphasized that her decision is driven by her commitment to the development of Agona West, rather than party affiliations.
The MP, who has represented Agona West since 2016, called on her constituents to support her independent bid, stating that she wants to complete the work she started.
This unexpected move is set to shake up the political landscape in Agona West, as Morrison seeks to retain her seat outside of the NPP ticket.
