According to a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on celebritiesbuzz.com, the parliamentary move was as a result of Asamoah Gyan's initiatives prior to, during and even the outbreak of COVID-19 in Ghana.
The football star has been engaged in many philanthropic acts for years and his most recent moves of constructing a road and providing COVID-19 relief for the people in the constituency probably highlighted his political ambitions.

While speaking in an interview as reported by the website, Asamoah Gyan did not rule out the fact that he could soon join celebs like John Dumelo who nurse political ambitions.
He said he was glad that the people of Weija-Gbawe where he lives, were appreciative of his little philanthropic efforts and also wished to see him in Ghana's House of Parliament.
“I’m happy that people are grateful for what I have done. I said earlier that people want me to become their MP. The most important thing is that people are happy with what I have done.
Sometimes the people choose you, people can choose you to lead them. When the roads were going on plus other projects, many people were urging me to lead them as their MP.
Some people did not plan to do politics but at the end of the day they are doing politics which is a normal thing,” the Black Stars' top goalscorer with 51 goals said.
