Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, widely known as Kwadwo Sheldon, a popular content creator, has fuelled speculation about a possible bid for the Madina parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a post on X, Kwadwo Sheldon appeared to acknowledge reports about his possible political ambition, while highlighting his entrepreneurial experience and contribution to job creation as reasons he could consider entering politics.
Kwadwo Sheldon recounted how, seven years ago, he and two other young men moved to Pantang in search of an apartment but eventually began building their media business with just laptops and mobile phones.
According to him, the venture has since grown into one of the country’s biggest media platforms, creating employment opportunities for several people.
He said the growth of the business and the opportunities it had created were largely inspired by his experience in the Madina Constituency, which he now hopes to give back to.
Kwadwo Sheldon stated, “That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth!”.
He also pointed to his record in job creation, suggesting that young people in the constituency could benefit if he eventually decides to pursue the parliamentary ambition.
“You know my track record when it comes to job creation. If you are a youth in Madina, I’ve got something cooking for you!” he added.
He further urged residents not to judge his political intentions solely by his public image or popularity on social media, insisting that his interest went beyond his YouTube following.
“Look beyond the Head!! I got something to say!!!. We are not contesting because of YouTube views far from it,” he stated.
Kwadwo Sheldon comments come amid viral social media posts and fliers suggesting that he intends to contest the Madina seat on the NPP ticket.
Although he has yet to formally declare his candidacy, his latest remarks appear to have given further weight to speculation about a possible entry into parliamentary politics.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that members seeking to contest its parliamentary primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections will be required to pay GH¢5,000 to formally declare their interest.
According to the NPP, the payment will be part of a new application process being introduced by the party, with its online portal scheduled to open from November 1 to 10, 2026, for prospective parliamentary aspirants to submit their applications.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, disclosed this during a press briefing on Thursday, October 29, 2026, where he outlined the arrangements for selecting parliamentary candidates for the next general elections.
Under the NPP’s new procedure, interested party members must access the online portal, choose the constituency they intend to contest and complete the declaration of interest process by paying the required GH¢5,000 fee.
Justin Kodua Frimpong explained that the new arrangement forms part of efforts to prepare prospective candidates for the demands of parliamentary leadership.
According to him, the party intends to subject aspirants to rigorous training and capacity-building programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge ahead of the 2028 elections.
He, however, disclosed that the declaration of interest process will serve as the first stage in the NPP’s preparations to select parliamentary candidates for the upcoming general elections.
Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, October 29, 2026, Justin Kodua Frimpong stated, “This time around, the party has decided to come out with a new process in selecting our parliamentary candidates. In kick-starting our parliamentary selection processes, the party has introduced what we refer to as expressing or declaration of interest or intent by prospective parliamentary aspirants.
“What this simply means is that the party will, from 1st November to 10th November, open our portal for any interested person who wants to be nominated to stand on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party to declare his or her interest through our portal.
“The party is just asking you to declare your intention by going to our portal to apply. After you’ve made the application, it comes with a fee of GH¢5,000,” he said.
He, however, disclosed that the declaration-of-interest process did not constitute the formal opening of nominations but marked the first step towards that stage of the parliamentary candidate selection process.
“We have still not opened nominations, and we have still not asked people to go around to campaign. This is just a first step towards the process of opening nominations. The party is just asking you to declare your intention by going to our portal to apply,” he said.

7 years ago, we were a group of 3 boys looking for an apartment to rent. That search took us to Pantang. We found an apartment, settled there, and with just laptops and phones, we built one of the biggest media platforms in the country and created employment for people. That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth! You know my track record when it comes to job creation. If you are a youth in Madina, I’ve got something cooking for you! Look beyond the Head!! I got something to say!!!
