Ballot snatching: Carlos Ahenkorah saved NPP from disgrace – Adwoa Safo

In a recent statement, Adwoa Safo, the Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, defended her fellow party member Carlos Ahenkorah against accusations related to the controversial ballot-snatching incident during the 2020 elections. She asserted that Ahenkorah’s actions were crucial in preventing a potential embarrassment for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during a challenging electoral period. Safo emphasized that Ahenkorah's quick thinking and decisive actions ultimately safeguarded the party's interests amid rising tensions.

While acknowledging that his behavior was contentious, she framed it as a necessary measure in a high-stakes environment where every vote counted. Her remarks come as part of an ongoing discourse about integrity and accountability within political circles, highlighting differing perspectives on ethical conduct versus strategic maneuvering in elections. Safo’s defense aims to shift the narrative surrounding Ahenkorah's actions from one of disgrace to one of tactical necessity, underscoring the complexities faced by politicians striving to secure their party's success while navigating ethical dilemmas in competitive races.
