Kwame A Plus, a renowned Ghanaian musician and entertainer, has emerged victorious in the Gomoa Central parliamentary elections. Running as an independent candidate, A Plus secured 13,491 votes, defeating the incumbent MP, Naana Eyiah Quansah of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 10,541 votes. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Kwame Deen Yawson, trailed behind with 9,116 votes.

A Plus’s win is a significant upset, considering he was running as an independent candidate. His campaign focused on his contributions to the constituency, and he expressed confidence in his ability to represent the people of Gomoa Central in Parliament.

In fact, A Plus had earlier stated that he had done more for the constituency in one year than Nana Addo had achieved in his entire tenure as MP for Akyem. This assertion seemed to have resonated with the voters, who have given him a resounding mandate.

A Plus’s victory is also notable given the controversy surrounding his candidacy. Earlier this year, seven NDC ward coordinators were suspended for endorsing A Plus and calling on the party to replace its candidate with him.

With his win, A Plus is set to become the only independent candidate in Ghana’s Parliament. His victory is a testament to his popularity and influence in the constituency, and he has pledged to work tirelessly to represent the interests of the people of Gomoa Central.

In conclusion, the 2024 Ghanaian general elections have been marked by intense competition and surprising upsets. The wins by independent candidates and opposition parties have shaken up the political landscape, signaling a potential shift in the country’s governance. As the dust settles, Ghanaians and international observers alike will be watching closely to see how the new political landscape takes shape.
