The founder of the Movement for Change and independent presidential aspirant, John Kwadwo Alan Kyerematen filed his nomination on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
The former staunch member of the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP] astonished the showbiz fraternity by introducing former hiplife artiste Elijah Kwame Danso as his running mate.
Elijah Kwame Danso who is now a legal practitioner is one half of the defunct Hiplife group Echo that sang the monster hit song ‘Gologo’ featuring Hiplife legend Tinny.
The song produced by Richie Mensah earned them a nomination for Best Afropop Song of the Year at the 2009 Ghana Music Awards now Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
With the stage name E-Nice, Elijah Kwame Danso rose to fame after winning the coveted Nescafé African Revelation competition in 2008, held in Ghana.
He and his group member, Charles Yeboah Danso, impressed judges with their freestyle, live band, and acapella performances.
The duo triumphed over competitors Too Natural and 3AM at the Kawukudi Park in Nima, Accra.
They were given a GH₵200 prize package that included funding for two music videos, an eight-track record, and a one-year lease on a three-bedroom house.
As part of Echo, E-Nice made waves in the music scene, even landing a spot on the Channel O radio countdown, a rare feat for Ghanaian acts then.
When Alan Kyeremanten announced 40-year-old Elijah Kwame Owusu Danso as his running mate, the entire showbiz community was stunned.
Now as a lawyer, a journalist and the General Manager at Trassacco Group, Elijah’s career has been a journey of diverse pursuits.
His lesser-known past as a hiplife musician has come to the forefront as he begins his political career as a vice-presidential nominee.
