How Adwoa Safo reacted to news of her being considered by Bawumia as running mate
The Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has reacted to news of her being considered by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a running mate ahead of the general elections. In responding to the rumours, Adwoa Safo noted that she cannot claim it because it is the prerogative right of the vice president to decide who he deems fit to partner him as a running mate to secure victory for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming general elections. She, however, indicated that if it is true that her name is on the list of those being considered for the running mate role, then the public should pray for her. Speaking in an interview with Onua FM monitored by GhanaWeb, the Dome-Kwabenya MP refused to disclose whether she would accept the position or not if she is chosen. During the interview, the host of the show, Nana Yaa Brefo asked, “Do you think it is about time a woman is considered as running mate?

It’s a tragedy that Akufo-Addo became president of Ghana – Suhuyini
The Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini, has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of failing to fight corruption in his administration. According to Suhuyini, the absence of the word corruption in the president's State of the Nation Address on Tuesday, February 27, reflects the extent to which corruption has "imprisoned him." The Tamale North Member of Parliament pointed out that Akufo-Addo had previously pledged to enforce procurement laws and eliminate sole sourcing in his 2017 State of the Nation Address. However, he contended that these promises remain unfulfilled, as evidenced by the alleged survival struggles of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who had previously enjoyed government support. Suhuyini asserted that perceived corruption within the Akufo-Addo government surpasses even the levels indicated by Transparency International. "Today, Anas is fighting for his survival under his watch, and the Anas principle is not to be heard within government circles. Today…
