Ghanaian YouTuber and media personality Kwadwo Sheldon has hinted at a possible move into active politics, suggesting that he could contest the Madina parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 general elections.
The content creator, whose real name is Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, sparked speculation on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, after sharing a campaign-style photograph featuring the NPP logo and the inscription “DINGO FOR MADINA 2028” on X (formerly Twitter).
When a follower asked whether reports of his parliamentary ambitions were true, Sheldon responded with three words: “It could be true.”
His response quickly attracted attention, generating conversations about his possible transition from digital media and entertainment into parliamentary politics.
Kwadwo Sheldon Explains His Connection to Madina
Following his initial post, Sheldon explained why the Madina constituency holds personal significance for him, particularly the Pantang community, where he says his entrepreneurial journey began.
According to the content creator, he and two friends moved to Pantang approximately seven years ago while searching for an apartment to rent.
After settling in the area, the group began building their media business using basic resources, including laptops and mobile phones. Sheldon said their efforts eventually developed into a major media platform that created employment opportunities for several people.
In a post on X, he wrote:
7 years ago, we were a group of 3 boys looking for an apartment to rent. That search took us to Pantang. We found an apartment, settled there, and with just laptops and phones, we built one of the biggest media platforms in the country and created employment for people.

That’s what the Madina constituency gave me, and it’s time to give back to the people, especially the youth! 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 added that the Madina constituency provided them with an opportunity to establish their business and that he now wants to give something back to the community, particularly its young people.
Kwadwo Sheldon Promises Opportunities for Madina Youth
Sheldon also highlighted employment creation as one of the areas he wants residents to associate with his potential political ambitions.
Addressing young people in the constituency, he suggested that he has plans aimed at creating opportunities for them.
He stated:

The content creator further encouraged residents to look beyond his public image and online personality, suggesting that there is more he wants to communicate about his ambitions.
However, he has not yet provided a detailed policy document or specific proposals explaining how he intends to address unemployment and other constituency challenges.
Kwadwo Sheldon Denies Seeking Parliamentary Seat for YouTube Views
Sheldon has also responded to suggestions that his political ambitions could be a publicity stunt intended to generate online attention.
In another post, he dismissed the idea that his interest in contesting the parliamentary seat was motivated by YouTube views.
He wrote:
We are not contesting because of YouTube views.. far from it..
He also maintained that his experience building a media business with limited resources demonstrates what he can achieve.
In another statement, he said:
I have shown you semblances of what I can do with limited resources.
His comments indicate that he wants his potential political involvement to be considered separately from his career as a content creator.
Kwadwo Sheldon Has Not Formally Declared His Candidacy
Despite the campaign-style photograph and his statements on social media, Sheldon has not formally announced that he has completed the process to contest the Madina parliamentary seat.
His comments come as the NPP prepares its parliamentary candidate selection process ahead of the 2028 general elections.
The party scheduled November 1 to 10, 2026, as the period for prospective parliamentary aspirants to declare their intention to contest. The declaration-of-intent stage is an administrative process and should not be confused with the formal nomination and selection of parliamentary candidates.
Sheldon’s interest in politics is not entirely new. In an interview published in June 2025, he spoke about his support for the NPP and disclosed that he had ambitions of entering Parliament in the future.
At the time, he suggested that he needed to build himself politically before making the transition into full-time politics.
Meanwhile, the Madina parliamentary seat is currently held by Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who retained the constituency in the December 2024 general elections.
Social Media Reactions to Kwadwo Sheldon’s Madina 2028 Ambition
Sheldon’s comments have generated mixed reactions, with some followers expressing support while others have questioned whether his experience in digital media would translate into parliamentary responsibilities.
He has responded to some of the conversations with humour. In one post, he joked:
If I become the MP of Madina young men in my constituency no go simp..
The remark has added to the online discussion surrounding his possible entry into politics.
