Lil Win, a well-known actor from Kumawood, has unexpectedly entered politics by declaring his intention to fight for the parliamentary seat in the Afigya Kwabre South constituency.
As an independent candidate in the Ashanti Region, Kwadwo Nkansah, as he is known in the entertainment industry, aims to champion this cause.
Because of the support and encouragement he received from local chiefs and elders in the constituency, LilWin decided to enter politics.
He claimed that these powerful individuals in the area pushed him hard to take up the cause and run for the seat.
Speaking in a recent interview on Accra-based Okay FM, Lil Win revealed that the chiefs approached him last year with the proposal of standing as an independent candidate for the parliamentary seat.
“In October of last year, I found myself in a situation where a group of elders approached me. They had already discussed the possibility of me becoming their MP as an independent candidate.
“They assured me of their commitment to securing my triumph in the election,” LilWin explained.
He also disclosed that their persistence intensified after the release of his recent movie, ‘Mr. President.’
“My initial response was that I wasn’t interested, yet they still kept pressuring me to contest as an independent candidate, that way I do not divide my fans be they NPP, NDC or CPP supporters.
“They also said that I will be provided with an English language tutor so that I can speak better and express myself,” LilWin recounted.
LilWin underlined his dedication to solving the issues faced by local youngsters, particularly those dealing with drug- and alcohol-related concerns, when talking about his intentions for the area.
He stated that he intended to focus job development as a means of easing the struggles young people confront.
