Ras Kuuku rules out politics over ‘too much hatred’
For many Ghanaians who have imagined Ras Kuuku in political office, the reggae-dancehall musician has completely ruled out that possibility.
Ras Kuuku, the reggae-dancehall musician, has firmly ruled out a political career, citing the intense animosity prevalent within Ghanaian politics as his primary reason. In an interview on Joy Prime, he stated that political opponents frequently turn against one another, despite sharing the same communities and even worshipping together.
Ras Kuuku criticized the level of hostility in politics, noting that people hold such strong animosity towards each other that it even transcends religious gatherings. He pointed to the rivalry between Ghana’s two major political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and how these divisions can follow individuals into places of worship.
Despite his aversion to politics, Ras Kuuku has not abandoned civic participation. He emphasizes the importance of voting during elections to actively participate in selecting a fit leader. While he firmly believes in the significance of democratic participation, Ras Kuuku maintains that seeking political office is an avenue he does not intend to explore.
