Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare-Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has asserted that he personally financed his entire parliamentary campaign without any financial backing from political heavyweights.
Speaking on the Upside Down Show on Channel One TV on Sunday, May 4, the outspoken first-time legislator stressed his independence from traditional political structures and underscored his loyalty to grassroots supporters.
“I ran my campaign. There is no big man here who can go anywhere and say that when A Plus was campaigning, he came for one cedi,” he said confidently.
“Kwame A Plus is grounded. I have money.”
He also recalled incidents on election day where operatives from both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) allegedly tried to interfere with the voting process.
According to him, he firmly resisted any form of manipulation, positioning himself as a representative of the ordinary Ghanaian.
“Go and ask them. On the day of the election, they came to do their skirmishes—we are NPP, we are NDC—I showed them. This is the representative of the street,” he stated.
A Plus, a musician-turned-politician and social commentator, ran as an independent candidate in the 2024 general elections and clinched the Gomoa Central seat, marking a notable shift in the political dynamics of the constituency.
