Gospel musician, Grace Ashly has revealed the reasons behind her decision to leave the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and join Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change.
Having served as the deputy General Secretary of the Sowutuom constituency and created several campaign songs for the NPP, Ashly explained that it was Alan’s policies and vision for the country that inspired her to support his movement.
In an interview with Onua FM on August 20, 2024, Madam Ashly elaborated on her decision.
“I used to be a member of the NPP, but I have switched to the butterfly movement because I realized it’s not about political parties but about policies and who is bringing them. I joined the butterfly group [Movement for Change] because I have seen their good works.”
She also revealed her previous role within the NPP.
“I was the NPP constituency deputy Secretary in Sowutuom during Mills/Mahama’s time. I wasn’t visible because sometimes, despite good intentions, some people won’t let it work unless they add value. I have known Alan since 2007, and he has always been someone I engage with.”
Madam Ashly further discussed her involvement in politics despite being a gospel artiste.
“As a gospel musician, my songs inspire and motivate people, so I use them to speak about the nature of things, hence my interest in politics. I need to address the problems facing us, the youth, and others because I have the voice.”
Some of Madam Ashly’s notable songs include ‘Se Nye Awurade A H,’ ‘Enye Mia,’ and ‘Wo Nutso Yesu,’ among others.
