A Plus claims NPP approached him with offer to form parliamentary caucus; party execs say he’s lying

Musician and newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) approached him to form an alliance in Parliament.

He claims that the offer, led by NPP flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, included a promise not to contest the Gomoa Central parliamentary seat in the 2028 elections if he aligns with the party.

In a social media post, A Plus revealed he is also in talks with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to him, his heart leans towards them but that he would ultimately side with the party that presents the best offer for him and his constituents.

“The NPP, led by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, has officially approached me to discuss aligning with them in Parliament… They will not contest the Gomoa Central parliamentary seat in the 2028 election,” he wrote.

However, the NPP has strongly denied the claim.

In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party stated, “The NPP has not met with A Plus, nor has it authorized anyone to convey any message to him on its behalf,” describing the allegations as false.

A Plus won the Gomoa Central seat as an independent candidate in the 2024 parliamentary elections, defeating both the NDC and NPP candidates. His victory has made him a key figure in the new Parliament, where the NDC holds a significant majority with 183 seats out of 276 while the NPP has 88 seats, and other candidates hold 3 seats.
