Kwadwo Sheldon hints at plans to contest Madina NPP parliamentary seat

Content creator Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, famed Kwadwo Sheldon, has hinted at plans to contest the Madina Constituency parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he highlighted his track record in entrepreneurship and job creation, saying his experience with building a media platform from limited resources had inspired his interest in giving back to the constituency.

According to him, seven years ago, he and two other young men moved to Pantang in search of an apartment, where they eventually settled and began building their media business with laptops and mobile phones.

He said the venture has since grown into one of the biggest media platforms in the country, creating employment opportunities for several people.

“That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth!” he wrote.

Mr Sheldon further pointed to his experience in job creation, promising opportunities for young people in Madina if he eventually pursues the parliamentary ambition.

“You know my track record when it comes to job creation. If you are a youth in Madina, I’ve got something cooking for you!” he added.

He also urged residents to look beyond his public image and social media popularity, insisting that his political ambition was not driven by online attention.

“Look beyond the Head!! I got something to say!!!. We are not contesting because of YouTube views far from it,” he stated.

His comments come amidst viral posts and fliers from social media users announcing his plans to contest the seat, although he has yet to make a formal declaration of his candidacy.
