Accra, Ghana – Ghanaian musician and newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame A Plus, has clarified his priorities as he prepares to take office. In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, A Plus addressed the creative community, stating that he will not be advocating specifically for the interests of the entertainment industry in Parliament but that of his constituents since they elected him.

A Plus’s Statement

“I don’t want anyone to think that Kwame A Plus is going to Parliament to fight for the interest of the entertainment industry. That is not my business there, my interest is to work and bring satisfaction to the people of Gomoa Central who voted massively for me because of the confidence they have in me. No creative industry person or group put me in Parliament. When I was contesting, there wasn’t any word of support from the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), or the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) or any creative group to rally support for me. It was just a few of my friends in the industry who solidly stood by me throughout. So nobody should tell me I’m representing the creative industry, I’m going to Parliament to serve the interest of the people of Gomoa Central.”

Acknowledging Shatta Wale’s Advocacy

A Plus also directed attention to Shatta Wale’s advocacy for the betterment of the industry, stating, “Shatta Wale has been talking too much sense. They should go and listen to what he says, I know it will help them.”

Election Victory

A Plus won the parliamentary seat for Gomoa Central after securing 14,277 votes, defeating the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) incumbent MP, Naana Eyiah Quansah, by a margin of 2,640 votes.

A Plus’s Preparation

A Plus shared that he started nursing the idea of running for Parliament six years ago and began preparing by going back to school. “I went back to have a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s and an LLB. I armed myself with some requisite knowledge and I’m glad of the outcome today.”

Public Reaction

The announcement has sparked a variety of reactions on social media, with many fans expressing support for A Plus’s call for unity and collaboration. Some have praised his decision to step away from partisan politics and focus on philanthropy, while others have expressed hope that his influence will help bridge political divides and foster national development.

Moving Forward

As the new administration prepares to take office, A Plus’s call for support and unity serves as a reminder of the importance of collective effort in nation-building. His emphasis on changing attitudes and prioritizing national interests over partisan politics resonates with many Ghanaians who are eager to see progress and development under Mahama’s leadership.

The Role of Sports Icons in Nation-Building

A Plus’s influence as a sports icon cannot be underestimated. Sports figures often hold a unique position in society, with the ability to inspire and mobilize people from all walks of life. A Plus’s call for unity is likely to have a significant impact, encouraging Ghanaians to set aside their political differences and work together for the betterment of the nation. His involvement in youth development and philanthropy further underscores his commitment to creating a brighter future for the next generation.

Challenges Ahead for the Mahama Administration
