Kwame Obeng Asare, also known as A Plus, a well-known entertainment personality and politician, has boldly stated that the members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot prevent him from running as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.
He’s throwing down the gauntlet to the government, daring them to disqualify him from running and see if the party’s parliamentary candidate can still secure victory in the elections.
He expressed his lack of concern regarding rumors suggesting his possible disqualification from the parliamentary elections during the nomination process, stating that such an outcome is impossible.
A Plus called on the NPP to initiate development projects in the Gomoa Central constituency to benefit the residents, emphasizing that such efforts are crucial if the party is truly committed to ending its eight-year tenure in government.
He said in a video shared by United Television (UTV) on their Xpage and sighted by GhanaWeb,
“I hear people say that during the filing ofnominations, the NPP will find a way to disqualify me from contesting the 2024 elections. I am telling you that they will be the ones who fill out my forms and submit them.They cannot disqualify me.
I am throwing a challenge at them because it is never possible.If they do that, how would their MP win the elections? Gomoa Central belongs to us and nobody else; what we say is what will work.
There are about 250+ votes in the constituency. If NPP is serious about breaking the 8, they should start doing something here”.
In the 2024 elections, A Plus will run as an independent candidate for parliament in the Gomoa Central constituency. It’s noteworthy that he was previously affiliated with the NPP before departing to pursue his own political goals.
