Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has stated that it is a waste of time to contest for a public office as an independent candidate in Ghana.

According to him, even he, with his little experience in politics understands how useless the action of competing as an independent candidate is.

He had advised all candidates seeking to enter into public offices to join a prominent political party with what they have to offer instead of being a stand-alone political person.

Stonebwoy then admitted that he does not see himself in partisan politics anytime soon "owing to the sentiments that characterise politics in the country" while speaking to Paul Adom Otchere on his Good Evening Ghana show.

“If I may have to assume a political position to serve the people it will be difficult because there is a divide. I think I understand my space enough to know that being an independent candidate is somewhat a waste of time. Sorry, not to disrespect any independent candidate but I am speaking for myself, if there are two ships going, at least join one ship and then add what you want to add."

"My opinion might sound someway and you might think being an independent candidate will survive, but in this Ghana, here that we are and I have to say the truth, you have to be a part of the foundations that have already been built in order to do yours,” he said.

The "Putuu" crooner then used the opportunity to once again advocate for citizens to nonetheless exercise their constitutional rights to vote, maintaining that he cast his ballot come December 7, when Ghana goes to the polls.
