Lilwin Announces Political Ambitions: Actor to Contest Afigya Kwabre North MP Seat
Renowned Ghanaian comic actor Kwadwo Nkansah, affectionately called Lilwin, has made headlines with a bold announcement—he is set to contest as a Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North in the Ashanti Region in the upcoming elections. The announcement, which came during a live interview on a popular TV station, has ignited widespread reactions across Ghana.
Lilwin, known for his humorous roles in Ghanaian movies, declared his political ambitions with confidence, citing his desire to bring significant development to his constituency. “I have seen the struggles of the people in Afigya Kwabre North, and I believe it’s time for us to see real change. I have the passion, vision, and dedication to serve my people and help improve their lives,” he said.
The news has sparked heated debates among Ghanaians, both online and offline. While some have lauded Lilwin for his courage and determination to step into the political arena, others have expressed skepticism about his readiness and qualifications to navigate the complexities of governance.
Supporters of the actor-turned-politician argue that his popularity and connection with ordinary Ghanaians give him an edge. “Lilwin has always been a man of the people. He understands the needs of the youth and can use his influence to bring positive change,” a supporter shared on social media.
On the other hand, critics question whether his success in the entertainment industry can translate into effective political leadership. “Acting and politics are two different fields. Being a good entertainer doesn’t necessarily make you a capable leader,” one skeptic commented.
This move places Lilwin among the growing list of Ghanaian celebrities venturing into politics, a trend that has seen mixed results in recent years. As the 2024 elections draw closer, all eyes will be on the Afigya Kwabre North constituency to see if Lilwin’s popularity can indeed win him a seat in Parliament.
