Former Black Stars player Stephen Appiah has announced his candidacy as an independent candidate for the upcoming December 2024 elections.
Appiah will vie for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency seat.
The surprising news was disclosed by a close associate, Fiifi Tackie, who also serves as the spokesperson for the Ayew family.
In his bid for office, Appiah will face stiff competition from the incumbent, Lydia Seyram Alhassan of the NPP, and the highly-regarded John Dumelo, who is running on the NDC ticket.
Stephen Appiah gained fame for leading the Black Stars as captain to their historic qualification for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He also captained the team during their second World Cup qualification for the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
Throughout his career, Appiah represented Ghana at various levels, from youth to senior teams. He played for clubs such as Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League, as well as Udinese, Parma, Brescia, Juventus, Fenerbahçe, Cesena, and Vojvodina.
In total, he earned 67 caps for the Black Stars and scored 15 goals.
