The Gomoa Central Constituency, which has been a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the past eight years, has been won by an independent parliamentary candidate, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus.
In an exclusive interview with 3news on December 8, A-Plus shared his excitement as the MP-elect, stating, “I am not excited because I have won, but because Gomoa Central is going to experience something new—a change that will bring real transformation. Gomoa Central will see development in infrastructure and improvements in the lives of its people.”
A-Plus remarked that the outcome did not surprise him, citing the hardships endured by the constituency over the past eight years.
He emphasized, “Politicians need to understand that there is a shift in Ghanaian politics. Gone are the days when people voted based on material benefits. Times have changed.”
He assured constituents of his commitment to addressing their challenges, saying, “I gave Ghanaian politicians the chance to do the right thing and serve the people, but they failed. So, I am stepping up to do it myself.”
One of the constituents, Stephen, explained why he and others voted for A-Plus. He stated, “We are tired of having a female leader. We hoped a woman could bring change, but eight years have been wasted. Men can lead better than women.”
