Kwadwo Sheldon has all but confirmed that he wants to be the next Member of Parliament for Madina. On Tuesday morning, 10 November, the content creator and founder of Kwadwo Sheldon Studios shared a campaign-style portrait carrying the New Patriotic Party (NPP) logo and the words “Dingo for Madina 2028”, replying to a fan who asked whether reports of his plans were true.
His answer, in a post on X, was short: “It could be true.”
“It’s time to give back”
Minutes later, Sheldon explained why the Greater Accra constituency matters to him. He said that seven years ago he and two friends went looking for an apartment and ended up in Pantang, where they built their media business “with just laptops and phones”.
“That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth!” he wrote. “You know my track record when it comes to job creation. If you are a youth in Madina, I’ve got something cooking for you!”
He also pushed back at fans who suggested the move was a stunt for clicks. “We are not contesting because of YouTube views.. far from it..”, he wrote in another post, later adding: “I have shown you semblances of what I can do with limited resources.”
Not a formal declaration yet
As reported by Adomonline, Sheldon’s comments follow days of fliers and posts from social media users backing him for the seat, but he has yet to make a formal declaration of his candidacy. The “2028” on his artwork points to the next general election.
Sheldon, whose real name is Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, is one of Ghana’s best-known online personalities, known for his online videos and for growing Kwadwo Sheldon Studios into what he describes as one of the biggest media platforms in the country. Last month he was among the creators who took over shows on Joy FM, Hitz FM and JoyNews. Read about the Influencer Africa takeover here.
The posts have split his followers. Many have rallied behind him, sharing the “Dingo for Madina” artwork, while others have questioned whether a career in entertainment prepares him for Parliament. Sheldon has met most of the criticism with jokes, at one point posting: “If I become the MP of Madina young men in my constituency no go simp..”
