Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has said he will not remain a member of parliament for long.
According to Kwame A Plus, he is prepared to step down whenever his constituents decide they no longer want him in Parliament.
In a news card shared on X by UTV Ghana, A Plus was stated to have said, “I will not remain an MP for long; I am prepared to step down whenever my constituents decide they no longer want me in Parliament”.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the A Plus remarks stated, “Survey reports suggest the possibility of you being a Methuselah in parliament to rival Ellembelle Mugabe, according to your popular youth programme you run? Or have you realised being smitten by stoked columns and pillars falling on you? Who born dog?”.
A netizen added, “We kraa we know already. If no be mp wey come fo aa nanka Kwame A+ dier mp fawoho ben”.
“Ah, to decide they no longer want you in Parliament, that would mean they will have to vote against you. If that happens, what other option do you have than to step down?”, an X user added.
In related news, A-Plus has said a serious independent candidate can beat Ghana’s two major political parties, the NPP and NDC.
According to A-Plus, Ghana’s two major political parties, the NPP and NDC, are not organised.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on April 8, Kwame A-Plus stated, “NPP and NDC, they are not organised. If you have serious individuals in constituencies, they will beat them”.
A-Plus also attributed his 2024 election victory to careful planning, citing that he could not go to GIMPA, study research methods, and not know what he was doing on the grounds.
He added, “After about 45 minutes of the election, I wrote on Facebook that I have won because I won’t go to GIMPA, study research methods, and not know what I am doing on the grounds. Those school fees will never go free. That is why I spent a certain number of years going to school before entering politics. I wanted to get a certain understanding of things,” he explained.
Also, an A-Plus in the same interview endorsed President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership.
The Gomoa Central MP highlighted that President Mahama’s second term would deliver results, adding that President Mahama is on track.
A-Plus added, “I believed strongly that John Mahama’s second term was going to be what it is now. So far, so very good, but it doesn’t make me NDC”.
“I am a strong supporter of John Mahama, same as Akufo-Addo,” he stated.
“There are so many people in both political parties that I like, that I think can be presidents of Ghana. But that doesn’t make me NDC. There are also people in the NPP that I think, given the opportunity, will perform,” he said.
Meanwhile, A Plus, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has said that before Dr Mahamudu Bawumia comes to power, the NPP will need him.
According to the Gomoa Central MP, the political prospects of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, or any future presidential bid, would require broader support beyond traditional party structures.
A Plus argued that influential individuals and independent political actors play a key role in determining who eventually comes to power in Ghana.
Speaking during an interview, A Plus claimed, “There are some of us, if we are not part of your government, you will never come to power. Your foot soldiers can make all the noise, but when we decide that this person is coming to power, that is what happens.”
“I campaigned against John Mahama, but when Akufo-Addo came and was not doing what was right, I campaigned against him,” he said.
“Before Bawumia comes to power, you will need me,” he said, arguing that political strategy and influence from independent actors often determine electoral outcomes”.
