In a viral video, the newly elected MP sang the song word for word while her supporters cheered her on. The performance, filled with energy and excitement, took place after she was declared the winner in a closely contested parliamentary race.
Hon. Bright secured 18,539 votes to defeat her rival, Charles Forson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who garnered 18,421 votes. The margin of victory was very narrow, which made it even more worthwhile for Bright.

Chris Tsormanah highlights the importance of music in elections
Seasoned music analyst Chris Tsormanah, in a chat with YEN.com.gh, highlighted how music plays a key role in elections and why commercial music is amplified during the polls and after the polls. He said:
"Before elections, there is music; during elections, there is music; and after elections, there is music. Those who celebrate would celebrate with music, and those who would cry would also cry with music. Music has an impact on elections, but it is not the only factor. Music has a way of influencing us. Music typically has a message, and depending on the message it carries, it is going to have an influence on the emotions of listeners."
