After the 2024 elections, Ghanaian entertainer and media pundit Kwame Asare Obeng, aka Kwame A Plus, was officially declared Gomoa Central's new MP-elect.

The entertainer ran as an independent candidate, beating the incumbent Gomoa Central MP, Naana Eyiah Quansah, who had been in office since 2016.

Prior to the election, a Global InfoAnalytics poll which predicted the presidential elections rightly had shed light on independent candidates' little to no chances of winning their seats.

According to A Plus, he was restless days to the elections. However, a conversation with the pollster Mussa Dankwah eased the tension. On Facebook, A Plus wrote:
