Kwame A Plus, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has revealed that counsel from dancehall artist Shatta Wale played a significant role in his 2024 election win.
According to A Plus, Shatta Wale advised him to “emulate Jesus Christ” in his approach to campaigning.
A Plus sought Shatta Wale’s guidance on how to win over the crowd, and the artist’s unconventional advice seemed to have paid off.
“I called Shatta Wale and asked why he always gets mammoth crowd following whenever he steps out. And he told me to go and watch Jesus Christ. Shatta said, ‘as for, you just talk. Jesus was giving people food and salvation. He gave them what they need so give your people what they need.’ I went back and gave my people what they need,” he said.
By emulating Jesus Christ, A Plus seemingly tapped into the values of compassion, empathy, and connection that resonated with his constituents.
This unexpected revelation highlights the intersection of politics, music, and faith in Ghanaian culture.
Kwame A Plus, a musician-turned-politician, has demonstrated his ability to blend his artistic background with his political ambitions.
As an independent candidate, A Plus made history by winning the Gomoa Central Constituency seat. His victory is a testament to his dedication to social justice and his ability to connect with the people.
A Plus’s story serves as an inspiration to others, showing that unconventional advice and a willingness to think outside the box can lead to remarkable success.
