I\u2019ll contest for Member of Parliament in my constituency\u2026 I don\u2019t like MUSIGA, I\u2019m heading to parliament direct in 2020. I\u2019m serious about this parliamentary ambition because politics is something we can all contribute our quota to help change the dynamics in our country and constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe one day it\u2019s a possibility because the way I perceive things happening in this country, makes me sad sometimes so if I\u2019ve what it takes to help change situations why not\u2026 I\u2019ve a lot of ideas. I can state emphatically that leadership is commonsense and not rocket-science or about your educational qualifications. Someone who hasn\u2019t gotten to this status can even do better than the one with high pedigree. I\u2019ll not go independent as candidate, I\u2019ll choose either NDC or NPP\u2026 I\u2019ve already decided on which party\u2019s ticket I\u2019ll run in 2020 but I\u2019m hiding it for now.\u201d Ofori Amponsah told Candyman on Akwaaba Talk on Atinka FM.<\/p>\n<p>Asante-Akim is divided into three constituencies, North, Central and South. The Asante-Akim North is represented by Honourable ANDY KWAME APPIAH-KUBI, Hon. KWAME ANYIMADU ANTWI represents Asante-Akim Central and the Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim South is Hon. KWAKU ASANTE-BOATENG. All three constituencies are stronghold of the New Patriotic Party.<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning musician, who was introduced to commercial music in the early 2000s by ace musician Daddy Lumba, was popular for hit tracks like \u2018Lady\u2019, \u2018Emmanuella\u2019, and \u2018Otoolege\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>After years of producing hits tracks, Ofori Amponsah took a break from secular music. He set up a church and became a preacher of the gospel.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, made his first U-turn when he released \u2018Alewa\u2019 with rapper Sarkodie. Earlier this year, he released \u201817\u2019 which featured Kwabena Kwabena.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 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 Monday, 11 December 2017 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2017-12-11 Ofori Amponsah Highlife musician Ofori Amponsah has disclosed his intention to contest for the Member of Parliament seat for Asante Akim constituency in 2020.
