Agona West MP Cynthia Morrison resolute on independent bid despite speculations
Cynthia Mamle Morrison, Member of Parliament for Agona West, has quashed rumors that she's reconsidering her decision to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 general elections.
This comes after photos of her with Majority members at Parliament's Job 600 office on October 22, 2024, sparked speculation that she might reverse her decision.
Morrison had initially declared her intention to run independently after losing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries to Christopher Arthur. This move stirred controversy, prompting Speaker Alban Bagbin to declare her seat, along with three others, vacant.
However, the Supreme Court intervened, issuing a stay of execution on the Speaker's decision ¹.
In a statement, Morrison categorically denied any decision to withdraw her independent candidacy, urging the public and her constituents to dismiss the "baseless claims." She reaffirmed her commitment to running independently and called on supporters to remain vigilant against misinformation.
