Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, a musician and newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has claimed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) approached him with an offer to form an alliance in Parliament. He alleged that the offer, led by NPP flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, included a promise not to contest the Gomoa Central seat in the 2028 elections if he aligned with the party.

In a social media post, A Plus revealed that he was also in talks with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), stating that while his heart leans towards them, he would ultimately choose the party that presents the best offer for both himself 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,” A Plus wrote.

However, the NPP has vehemently denied the claim. In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party stated that it had not met with A Plus and had not authorized anyone to approach him on its behalf. The NPP described the allegations as false.

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