Lil Win cancels plans to run for MP due to lack of funds

Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, is a well-known actor and movie producer in Kumawood. He has chosen not to run in the forthcoming December legislative elections.

Lil Win had planned to run for the Ashanti region's Afigya Kwabre North parliamentary seat, but he decided to put off his political aspirations mostly due to financial difficulties.

LiI Win stated in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM that he will not be pursuing a parliamentary seat until 2028. He clarified that having a successful campaign required a large amount of money, which he does not have right now.

Lil Win also noted that he will not be running under the banners of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the National Democratic Congress (NDC) due to his affiliations with both parties

“I am no longer contesting… I will contest in the next four years… I am waiting for that. I am going independent. Likewise, I can’t join a political party because I love both parties and have friends everywhere,” he said.

Lil win announced his intention to run for the parliamentary seat in the Afigya Kwabre South constituency in August 2023.

According to him, he was approached by several top personalities who encouraged him to contest as a Member of Parliament at the Afigya Kwabre South constituency.

However, the decision came a few days after former president John Dramani Mahama advised Lil Win not to go into politics.
