“I’m Coming for Sammy Awuku’s Seat” – K.K. Fosu Declares 2028 Independent Bid

Highlife musician K.K. Fosu has officially announced his return to politics, revealing plans to contest the Akuapem North parliamentary seat as an independent candidate in Ghana’s 2028 general election.

The musician had initially intended to enter the 2024 parliamentary race but suspended his political ambitions after being involved in a motor accident. He now says he has fully recovered and is ready to pursue his political aspirations.

Speaking on Asempa Showbiz with host Adu Kumi, K.K. Fosu expressed confidence that he can unseat the incumbent Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammy Awuku, regardless of the political platform he chooses to contest on.

“If Sammy Awuku likes, he should leave the NPP and come to meet me face-to-face. I am going as an independent candidate,” K.K. Fosu stated.

The highlife star said he is prepared to challenge Sammy Awuku in the 2028 election whether the incumbent runs on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or decides to contest as an independent candidate.

According to K.K. Fosu, political party affiliation will not determine the outcome of the election, arguing that the people of Akuapem North will vote for the candidate they believe can best represent their interests.

Explaining his confidence, the musician claimed that the NPP no longer holds the political strength needed to influence the outcome of the constituency’s election, asserting that “the party is dead.”

With this latest announcement, K.K. Fosu has reignited his political ambitions and is expected to mount a vigorous campaign as he seeks to transition from the music stage to Parliament in the 2028 general election.
