In a video on X, Kwaku Bonsam described the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government as a scam and entreated the constituents to vote against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate.
He added that Akwatia deserves access to infrastructure in good condition and asked them to vote for Bernard Baidoo, the NDC candidate, so they can see better developments.
“I have come to Akwatia. I describe the NPP government that left power after the 2024 election as a scam. The roads to Akwatia and its environs are very bad. Even the road to my village is better than the ones in Akwatia.”
He proceeded to shout the NDC’s slogan and asked the DJ to play music. The DJ played one of the theme songs for the NDC during the 2024 election.

Nana Kwaku Bonsam wore a brown shirt with black trousers and a red hat. He tied an NDC flag around his arm.
