Veteran Ghanaian highlife singer, George Kwabena Adu—affectionately known in showbiz circles as Kwabena Kwabena—has taken a bold step from the stage to the student arena, declaring his intent to contest for the position of Student Representative Council (SRC) President at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
The award-winning artiste, known for timeless love ballads and his deep baritone voice, is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at UPSA. His decision to enter student politics marks a new chapter in his multifaceted journey, one that merges artistry with leadership.
Confirming the development, his longtime manager Nana Poku Ashis stated that Kwabena Kwabena is not only serious about his academic life but also deeply committed to serving his fellow students. “This is not a publicity stunt. Kwabena genuinely believes in youth development and student advocacy,” he said.
This move places Kwabena Kwabena among a growing wave of Ghanaian entertainers who are bridging the gap between fame and public service. He follows in the footsteps of dancehall star Samini, who made history as SRC President at GIMPA; rapper Guru, who is currently serving in the same role at the University of Ghana; and Dr. Cryme, who recently clinched the presidency at Methodist University.
