Ras Kuuku, the reggae-dancehall musician, has expressed his lack of interest in pursuing a career in politics. In an interview on Joy Prime, he explained that the hostile environment in politics, characterized by personal attacks and propaganda, is a significant factor in his decision to stay out of public office. Ras Kuuku noted that even within the same communities, political rivals often turn against each other, despite their shared religious beliefs.
He pointed out the rivalry between Ghana's major political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and how these divisions can extend into places of worship. Despite his community's approach to have him represent them in Parliament, Ras Kuuku firmly stated that he would decline due to his aversion to the political setting.
However, this does not mean he is disengaged from civic participation; he actively votes in elections to contribute to the selection of a suitable leader. Ras Kuuku believes that engaging in Ghana's democracy is important, but he has no intention of entering the political arena himself.
