Meet Dr Charis, the Woman Who Married Old Tafo MP Assafuah

Dr Charis, born Sarah Ama Adu, has drawn widespread public interest after her marriage to Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Member of Parliament for the Old Tafo Constituency. The union between the Ghanaian medical doctor and the New Patriotic Party politician has generated significant attention across social media and political circles, with many people seeking to learn more about her background and career.

The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony on March 7, 2026, in Nkoranza. The event was attended by close family members, friends and several prominent figures within the New Patriotic Party. Among the notable personalities present were Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and former Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

Although the wedding was largely kept away from public attention, curiosity about the MP’s bride quickly grew online, leading to renewed interest in her professional and personal life.

Dr Charis is a Ghanaian medical doctor who has also developed a visible presence on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Through her online platforms, she frequently shares content focused on health, wellness and lifestyle topics, offering practical advice to her growing audience.

Her online discussions also extend to broader everyday issues, including personal development and practical guidance on navigating daily life challenges.

Beyond her medical career and social media presence, Dr Charis is also involved in business. She runs an online vehicle importation enterprise known as Charis Holdings. Through this venture, she assists clients who are interested in importing vehicles, particularly from China.

On her TikTok platform, she often provides educational content about the vehicle importation process. In several videos, she explains the steps involved in purchasing vehicles abroad and shipping them to Ghana.

In one such video, she advised prospective buyers to clearly define the type of vehicle they want before beginning the importation process. She also encouraged customers to ask important questions about shipping timelines, export documentation and port clearing procedures before making payments.

Following news of her marriage, an earlier video of Dr Charis resurfaced online, drawing additional attention to her views on relationships and privacy. In the video, she explained why she had previously chosen not to publicly display her relationship with the MP on social media.

According to her, publicly sharing details of a relationship online can sometimes attract unnecessary claims or controversy.

“Sometimes you wish you could post your boyfriend, but there are people who will claim they have been with him for years,” she said in the video.

The video has since triggered discussions online about the challenges that public figures face when trying to maintain privacy in their personal relationships.

Her husband, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, is a lawyer and politician who has represented the Old Tafo Constituency in Parliament since 2021. He won the parliamentary seat during the 2020 general elections on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party.

Before entering Parliament, Assafuah served as the Public Relations Officer at Ghana’s Ministry of Education.

Since news of their wedding surfaced, Dr Charis has continued to trend online. Many social media users have congratulated the couple, while others remain curious about her professional journey and growing influence.

With an active online presence, a career in medicine and involvement in entrepreneurship, Dr Charis is increasingly emerging as a public figure in her own right, particularly following her marriage to one of Ghana’s young politicians.
