The groom couldn't contain his joy moments after the DJ blasted the viral tune, which was originally composed as a political campaign song.
The unexpected song choice for their entrance brought joy to the faces of the guests at the wedding reception as they joined them on the dancefloor to dance to the irresistible song.
It's unclear if the young man is a sympathiser of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), although the caption on the video gave an indication.
"NDC genes in the groom Mahama must see this," the caption read.
Nacee's Kwen Kwen was released in November last year as the official campaign song for the NDC in the run-up to the general elections held on December 7, 2024.
The song became an instant hit, with many social media political activists and content creators using it for various purposes.
Furthermore, the song's popularity further soared following the NDC's resounding victory in both the parliamentary and presidential elections.
A few days after President Mahama was declared the winner, the Kwen Kwen song topped most digital music streaming charts for Ghanaian songs.
