As Ghana’s December 7th general elections draw near, several artists are increasingly becoming involved in political campaigns.

While some are taking the stage to perform at rallies, others have gone a step further by composing campaign songs to endorse their preferred parties and candidates. However, not all musicians are following this trend.

Highlife singer Akwaboah Jnr has made it clear where he stands on the issue, drawing a distinction between performing at rallies and composing campaign songs. He asserted that while he is open to performing for political parties, he will not compose a special campaign song for them.

Speaking with Abeiku Santana on Accra-based Okay FM on Thursday, September 12, Akwaboah expressed a preference for writing songs that benefit the entire nation, rather than aligning with any particular political entity.

Akwaboah explained that creating a song for a political party could have negative repercussions if that party fails to secure electoral victory. He believes it is more advantageous to produce music that promotes the development of the country as a whole.
