Ghanaian highlife musician K.K. Fosu has reaffirmed his intention to contest the Akuapem North parliamentary seat as an independent candidate in the 2028 general election, insisting he is confident of defeating incumbent Member of Parliament Sammy Awuku.
Speaking to Adu Kumi on Asempa Showbiz, the musician said he would not be intimidated by Awuku’s political influence or party affiliation.
“If Sammy Awuku likes, he should leave the NPP and come to meet me face-to-face. I am going as independent candidate,” he said.
When the host suggested that Sammy Awuku would have the edge because he represents the New Patriotic Party (NPP), K.K. Fosu replied: “the NPP is even dead. That is what people say.”
In his response, Sammy Awuku also wrote on Facebook: “KK Fosu, m’aya da. Please get me a campaign track before you pick the nomination forms. Nice weekend bro.”
K.K. Fosu first announced his intention to enter parliamentary politics ahead of the 2024 general election.
However, he did not file his nomination to contest the seat, explaining that a motor accident prevented him from going ahead with his plans.
