If that\u2019s the case, then it\u2019s a hustle. If there\u2019s to be a change in government; it will be difficult,\u2019 he told Pamela Boateng.<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning music producer added, \u2018I want a situation whereby everybody gets a chance to vote or exercise their franchise so that when you lose you know you\u2019ve worked hard but lost. I wish every musician will get the chance to vote. It\u2019s going to be a big deal getting everyone to one place to vote but we can have different polling stations at the various regions; the electoral commission can help with that. So if all these happen, I will vie as the President of MUSIGA,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what makes him stand out amongst other candidates, he answered, \u2018I\u2019ve been in this industry only God knows how long. I know whatever problems we are facing. I\u2019ve been in it longer than Obour but he\u2019s the President. The kind of experience I have if I\u2019m to bring it on board, believe you me, it\u2019s going to go a long way to help.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Bice Osei Kufour alias Obour retained his seat as president of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) on October 31, 2015. Obour polled 88 votes to beat his contenders Gyedu Blay Ambulley and Appiah Dankwa (Appietus) who polled 22 and 18 votes respectively.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 20 October 2017 Source: zionflex.com 2017-10-20 Appietus &#13; Ace sound engineer who also doubles as a music producer; Appiah Dankwah, popularly known as Appietus has revealed exclusively to Spyderlee Entertainment TV that he\u2019ll re-run for MUSIGA Presidency only if the union\u2019s electoral college is expanded.
