Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame has revealed that he was approached by independent presidential candidate John Alan Kyerematen to serve as his running mate in the upcoming 2024 elections. 



However, he ultimately declined the offer, citing concerns for his family&#8217;s safety and well-being.



In an interview with Accra-based Joy FM, Okyeame Kwame shared that Kyerematen had outlined ten criteria for his ideal running mate, all of which he met. 



Despite this alignment, the musician expressed hesitation about the risks associated with partisan politics, especially considering the ages of his children, who are 15 and 13.



&#8220;My family’s well-being and safety are my top priority, and I couldn’t jeopardize that for politics,&#8221; Okyeame Kwame stated. 



He emphasized that pursuing a role as a vice-presidential candidate was not part of his family’s plans, and he felt it was essential to remain consistent with the values he teaches his children.



Following Okyeame Kwame&#8217;s decision, Kyerematen selected Kwame Owusu Danso, a lawyer, broadcaster, and PR consultant, as his running mate for the election.



Okyeame Kwame is now focusing on his music career and advocacy work, particularly in health, education, and environmental preservation, serving as a ‘Made in Ghana’ ambassador.
