The famed Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah, better known by his stage name Lil Win, has declared his intention to run for the Ashanti Region’s Afigya Kwabere South parliamentary seat, sparking excitement in Ghana’s entertainment industry.

Following a wave of support from traditional leaders, powerful individuals, and citizens who are confident in his leadership abilities, this unexpected action was taken.

In an interview with Okay FM in Accra, Lil Win revealed his choice and stated that the call to enter politics first surfaced in October 2022.

His mother and other family members eventually got tired of the requests because they were so persistent.

The adored actor has made the difficult decision to accept the challenge and run as an Independent Candidate for the parliamentary seat after much thought.

Lil Win admitted that initially he wasn’t motivated to pursue a political career, therefore the choice wasn’t made lightly.

However, he has decided to heed their call after receiving a lot of love and encouragement from his community.

Lil Win claims that his supporters have shown their confidence in his capacity to serve as a leader and have a beneficial influence on their lives.

The significant contributions Lil Win has made to the district, particularly through the founding of his school, Great Minds, are one of the motivating grounds for the residents’ demand.

Despite his position in the entertainment industry, the actor has been able to make significant investments in locals’ education and support.

His prior accomplishments have persuaded his supporters that, with the right tools and assistance, he is capable of accomplishing even more.

“At first, I wasn’t interested in the bid, Lil Win said, “I feel like I have to answer my people’s call.

All eyes will be on Lil Win when his campaign for the parliamentary seat gets underway to see how his experience in the entertainment industry and dedication to his supporters will translate into his political endeavours.
