Member of Parliament for Agona West, Cynthia Morrison, has refuted claims that she would contest on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the December 7 polls.
According to her, Ghanaians should disregard any rumor that she has rejoined the NPP since she will campaign as an independent candidate.
In an interview on Adoma Fm on October 22, the legislator revealed her position in the ongoing speculations regarding her political intentions.
She noted that the NPP hierarchy has approached her but she is still running as an independent candidate. She also admonished Ghanaians to ignore rumors of her being bribed to rejoined the NPP as such claims are untrue.
The comments of the MP for Agona West come on the backdrop of some viral photos which captures her with a number of NPP MPs including the leader of the majority caucus, Afenyo-Markin and MP for Assin Central, Hon Kennedy Agyepong.
