Meanwhile, recall the popular social media celebrity announced her political ambition after she visited her father's hometown and was given a rousing welcome by residents.
Schwarzenegger said she will contest for the Fomena seat and prayed that her late dad who she described as her personal angel will support her in the feat.
The Fomema seat is currently occupied by Hon Andrew Amoako Asiamah who is currently the Second Deputy Speaker.
The MP won the seat as an Independent candidate after he lost the NPP primaries. It is unclear if he will contest the elections again on the NPP ticket as he renounced the party in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
Afia Schwarzenegger, who defected from NDC to support the NPP, and Nana Addo in the 2020 elections said she will contest the seat as an independent candidate. "With the help of God n my personal angel(dad) I'm coming back to contest the Fomena seat in 2024...my people deserve better," she wrote.
