YouTuber and media personality Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, widely known as Kwadwo Sheldon, has indicated that he could contest the Madina parliamentary seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Ghana’s 2028 general election.
Sheldon made the suggestion in a post on X on Tuesday, November 10, in response to a follower asking whether reports of his possible candidacy were accurate.
“Sheldon pls I’m seeing some stories of u contesting the Madina seat in the name of the NPP how true is this Sir?” the follower wrote.
Sheldon quote-posted the message alongside a photograph of himself giving a thumbs-up beneath the NPP logo. The image also carried a “DINGO FOR MADINA 2028” badge.
“It could be true,” he replied.
The exchange came as the NPP’s Tuesday deadline for prospective parliamentary aspirants passed. It also pushed “Sheldon” and “Madina” on to Ghana’s X trending list.
In a subsequent post, Sheldon highlighted the business and employment record of Kwadwo Sheldon Studios since he moved to Pantang in the Madina Constituency seven years ago.
“7 years ago, we were a group of 3 boys looking for an apartment to rent. That search took us to Pantang.”
“We found an apartment, settled there, and with just laptops and phones, we built one of the biggest media platforms in the country and created employment for people,” he wrote.
Sheldon said his experience in the constituency had created an obligation to support its residents, particularly young people.
“That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth! You know my track record when it comes to job creation.”
He added: “If you are a youth in Madina, I’ve got something cooking for you! Look beyond the Head!! I got something to say!!!”
In a third post on Tuesday morning, Sheldon wrote: “I have shown you semblances of what I can do with limited resources.”
However, he has not formally announced his candidacy. The posts, together with fliers circulating online, have led to differing views on social media about whether he intends to pursue an NPP primary contest.
The Madina seat is held by National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu, who secured the constituency for a second term in the December 2024 election.
Sheldon’s comments follow formal declarations by four Ghanaian broadcasters that they will contest the NPP’s 2028 parliamentary primaries. Former National Youth Authority Deputy CEO Akosua Manu has also declared a bid in the neighbouring Adentan constituency.
