'Politics is not on my mind now'- Asamoah Gyan

Published on: 01 June 2020

Legendary Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan has refused to rule out a move to politics in future, but rejected claims he wants to be Member of Parliament for the Weija-Gbawe Constituency. 

The all time leading scorer for Ghana has been busy with developmental projects in the constituency, having helped in the construction of one of the major roads in the area.

There are calls from members of the community for the player to run for Parliament, but Gyan does not believe it is the right time for him to venture into politics.

"I’m happy that people are grateful for what I have done. I said earlier that people want me to become their MP. The most important thing is that people are happy with what I have done", he told Adom FM in an interview.

"Talking about politics anything can happen, but for now politics is not on my mind.

"Sometimes the people choose you, people can choose you to lead them. When the roads were going on plus other projects, many people were urging me to lead them as their MP."

"Some people did not plan to do politics but at the end of the day they are doing politics which is a normal thing."
