Cantankerous self-acclaimed Queen of Comedy, Afia Schwarzenegger, has been accused of being the biggest mistake the NPP ever made after openly declaring that she will still choose NPP until her last breath.
Afia Schwarzenegger who used to be a staunch supporter of NDC suddenly switched to NPP after allegedly getting paid to endorse them. Afia Schwar’s endorsement of the NPP during the campaign season drew mixed reactions, with some questioning the impact of her involvement on the party’s image.
Reports suggest that Afia’s decision to support the NPP was driven by strategic alliances, a move she defended as being in the nation’s best interest. However, critics argue that her public controversies overshadowed her contributions, branding the party’s decision to enlist her as a “misstep.”
Some people have blamed her controversial nature as one of the reasons for NPP’s possible defeat.
Afia claimed that her switch to the NPP was motivated by a desire to protect policies such as the Free SHS initiative, which benefited her children. However, her frequent shifts between parties have led many to view her support as transactional rather than ideological.
As the political dust settles, the debate over celebrity endorsements in Ghanaian politics continues.
Meanwhile, Ghanaians are still waiting for the official declaration from the electoral commissioner on who the next President of Ghana is.
