Ghanaian musician Ras Kuuku has revealed that he has no plans to enter politics, despite receiving calls from his community to represent them in Parliament.

Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime on August 12, 2026, Ras Kuuku mentioned that the level of hatred and division associated with Ghanaian politics has discouraged him from considering a political career.

According to him, he would rather remain in the music industry, where he believes people generally have a more positive attitude towards him.

“No, I’ve not considered entering politics in Ghana because the hatred is too much. There’s so much hatred in politics,” he said.

Raskuuku noted that although disagreements and criticism exist in the music industry, he does not believe musicians experience the same level of hostility that politicians face.

“I’m already in the music industry and I don’t really think there’s much hatred in it as compared to politics. Everybody loves me, but if you hate me, that’s your problem,” he stated.

The musician noted that he had not experienced the kind of public insults that politicians routinely face.

“I don’t think anyone has sat on TV or anywhere to insult Ras Kuuku,” he shared.

He also criticised the partisan divisions he has observed among Ghanaians, including in religious spaces.

According to him, political supporters sometimes allow their differences to become so pronounced that they remain divided even when they attend church.

“When they even go to church, the parties don’t want to be close to each other. They’re always divided and make it obvious. They also insult each other, forgetting that they’re in front of God,” he said.

Ras Kuuku further revealed that members of his community have approached him to contest for a parliamentary seat, but he has consistently declined the suggestion.

“I’ve been asked by my people in the area to represent them in Parliament, but I always say no,” he stated.

Despite his decision not to become a politician, Ras Kuuku said he recognises the importance of participating in Ghana’s democratic process.

He disclosed that he votes because he believes citizens have a responsibility to determine who governs the country.

“I do vote because if I don’t, someone else will vote, the winner will be elected and I will be under that person,” he explained.

Ras Kuuku admitted that he previously discouraged people from voting but said his position has changed.

He explained that voting gives citizens the power to replace leaders when they are dissatisfied with how the country is being governed.

“I used to say we don’t have to vote, but I’ve changed my mind. When someone is governing our country and things are not going well, we help ourselves to replace that person and we can only do that through voting,” he added.
