‘I go where I’m wanted’ – A Plus on joining NDC caucus in Parliament

The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng has disclosed why he decided to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament despite being elected as an Independent Candidate.

During the inauguration of the 9th Parliament on Tuesday, January 7, Mr. Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus sat with the NDC caucus indicating his intention to align with the NDC in Parliament.

In an interview with TV3’s Eric Mawuena Egbeta after first sitting of the ninth Parliament was adjourned, he explained that the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Parliament is not “serious” with their request for him to join their caucus.

According to him, NDC leadership contacted him earlier as soon as his victory indicating their seriousness and would only join a caucus where he’s appreciated.

However, it took the NPP some weeks to contact him through the party’s 2024 flag bearer aspirant and outgone Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

But the MP said the NPP, because they are “arrogant”, denied ever contacting him when he made his meeting with Ken Agyapong public.

“The NPP leadership is not a serious one and I’m making that very clear to them, they are not serious. They don’t know what they are about, I think they have not gotten over the defeat that they encountered not long ago so I had to go where I am wanted, where they are serious about running a country.

“The day after the election Ato Forson called me and indicated that he wanted me to caucus with them. It took a long time for the NPP to approach me through Kennedy Agyapong, and even when he made the approach, and when I came out and said that he had made an approach, because they are arrogant and they wanted to do it behind the scenes and put in some deals that they were not truthful about, they came out and said it’s not true. That’s what happened so I had to caucus with the NDC.

“They have shown they are serious, they have shown that they value what I do and who I am so you go where you are wanted,” he explained.
