Ghanaian hip-life musician turned politician Kwame Asare Obeng, aka Kwame A Plus, launched his campaign for the position of Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central in the Central Region.
The campaign launch, which took place in the township of Gomoa Ekwamkrom on August 5, 2024, saw thousands of residents show up to support A Plus, who is running as an independent candidate.
The campaign launch featured a health walk around the township, which was widely patronized by supporters who took to the streets amid singing and drumming.
The health walk ended at a major park in the area where A Plus, in his speech, promised to facilitate the construction of facilities and critical infrastructure, including a clinic, water supply, and electricity for the constituency.
Also spotted at the event were his wife, Violet Obeng, aka Akosua Vee, entertainment pundit Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, and movie director and Head of Productions at UTV, Harold Roger Quartey, who came to offer their support for A Plus.
This comes after A Plus, once a supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became a vocal critic of the administration and announced his intention to run for the seat in September 2023.
He would be going against the incumbent NPP MP, Naana Eyiah Quansah.
