Former Member of Parliament for Agona West Constituency in the Central Region, Cynthia Morrison, has vowed to contest the Agona West seat as many times as necessary, as long as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary candidate, Christopher Arthur, remains in the race.
According to her, Christopher Arthur has disrespected and disgraced her in the constituency and as a result, she has committed to challenging him every time he attempts to contest the seat.
Speaking in an interview on Net 2 TV on March 3, 2025, she stated that nothing but divine intervention could stop her from opposing Christopher Arthur.
“When Chris started speaking against me, I didn’t take it seriously. I have no problem with him contesting me, but why would he go on the radio after the election and tarnish my image? He claimed that I dislike Kutin and Asiamah, which is not a big deal. Kutin is no longer alive, but why would you sit on TV and disgrace me?
“For you to sit on national television and claim that I take money from people to facilitate their travel, how can you do that? How can such a person be a Member of Parliament? He never will. If he contests ten times, I will contest ten times,” she said.
The former MP added, “Unless God tells me to step aside, I will never bow out. Anytime he contests, I will contest, and nobody can convince me otherwise. This is a disgrace!
“I have audio recordings of him saying that they give us money and I don’t distribute it to the people, so I am wicked.”
Cynthia Morrison, the then-incumbent MP for Agona West, lost the New Patriotic Party parliamentary primary held on Saturday, April 13, 2024.
She garnered 152 votes, while Christopher Arthur secured 240 votes to become the party’s parliamentary candidate.
Following her loss in the primary, she contested the seat as an independent candidate. Ultimately, Dangbey Ernestina Ofori of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) won the seat with 26,080 votes, representing 48.36% of the total votes cast.
