Ghanaian hip-life artist, politician, entrepreneur, and social activist Kwame Asare Obeng, commonly known by his stage name A Plus, has declared his intention to contest the Gomoa Central Parliamentary seat in the 2024 general election.
Having a keen interest in politics and social issues, the former New Patriotic Party sympathiser said he is contesting as an independent candidate.
A Plus made this declaration during the burial service of his late father, Mr. Daniel Kwasi Obeng, in Winneba, Central Region.
He called on both the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidates to allow him to go unopposed since he believed he had the influence and the money to win the Gomoa Central seat.
“Anybody who wants to contest for the Gomoa Central Parliamentary seat must know that the Constituency is for us. If it’s about money, we have it. If it’s about influence, we can defeat you. The NDC and the NPP should allow me to go unopposed”, he boastfully stated.
“You can shelve your ambition of wanting to be an MP for the Gomoa Central Constituency and join me. I might help you to become the DCE when I win”, A Plus opined.
Kwame A Plus was instrumental in the campaign for Nana Akufo Addo as President in the 2016 election which brought the NPP into government after 8 years of staying in opposition.
On the other hand, he has also been a vociferous critic of the current administration; speaking about his disappointment in the Akufo- Addo-led government and how ‘not so good’ the country is being governed.
