Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, widely known as Lilwin has announced his decision to run for the Ashanti Region\u2019s Afigya Kwabere South parliamentary seat.<\/p>\n
According to him, several demands from traditional, prominent, and opinion leaders as well as the general public influenced his choice.<\/p>\n
Lilwin who disclosed this in an interview with Okay FM in Accra, said that he would run as an Independent candidate.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, around October, I found myself in a situation where a number of elders approached me. According to them, they had already convened to discuss the possibility of me becoming their MP, but as an independent candidate. They assured me of their commitment to ensure my victory in the election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore recently, their concern was intensified due to my latest movie, \u2018Mr. President.\u2019 They came for a copy of the movie and after watching it, they came and informed me that no matter what they have spoken with my mother, my uncle Wofa Atta, and a lot of my family members that, I have to become an MP.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stressed that by running as an independent candidate, they believe he can bridge the gap and maintain his status as a public celebrity without polarizing his supporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy initial response was that I wasn\u2019t interested, yet they still kept pressurising me to contest as the independent candidate, that way I do not divide my fans be they NPP, NDC, or CPP supporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also said that I will be provided with an English language tutor so that I can speak better and express myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our region, many of the youth face hardships stemming from drug and alcohol issues. So, I think if I come, I will focus on jobs\u2026 because there are no jobs, they are engaging in all kinds of deviant behaviors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
