Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, Gomoa Central MP, says his decision to align with the Majority in Parliament is based solely on securing development for his constituency, not party allegiance.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on the AM Show, the independent legislator said his priority is to ensure that long-standing infrastructural challenges in Gomoa Central—especially the poor road network—are addressed.
“All I want to do is to develop my constituency,” he said. “My entire constituency doesn’t have roads… so if there is a government that is development-oriented, I will have to join them because I want some of that development to go to my constituency.”
A Plus stressed that his voters support his decision because they, too, want access to national resources. According to him, constituents look to their MP—not their political party—for results.
“Everybody wants a piece of the national cake, and in my constituency, I am the cake,” he said. “I’m not an NDC MP or an NPP MP. I’m everybody’s MP, and everybody comes to me.”
He argued that working with the Majority gives him better leverage to push for projects and lobby for government attention. The MP added that his political choices are guided by long-term interests rather than permanent alliances.
“I don’t have permanent friends. I have permanent interests,” he noted, hinting that he would have taken the same stance if the New Patriotic Party had won power.
