Kwame Dadzie: Did Stonebwoy's 'Jejereje' really give NDC "significant" electoral impact?
Kwame Dadzie wrote that Stonebwoy suggested his song *Jejereje* contributed to the victory of the National Democratic Congress in the 2024 elections at the Black Stars World Cup Fundraiser at the Kempinski Hotel on March 21, 2026. Stonebwoy said, "When we talk about contributions, I believe that my contribution has been very significant in actually winning power for the NDC because everybody has heard 'naano ee nakofa baaye o'. Mainly because I am somebody that believes in reset so per my own judgement, I made sure that that music was dropped within a moment when there was some ease in the system. Because it was so tensed and I dropped it in terms of contributions."
Kwame Dadzie does not think the song *Jejereje* contributed "significantly" to the NDC's victory. Political science research points to candidate credibility, party identification, economic performance and campaign promises as factors that determine election outcomes. Campaign communication, including music, plays a role too, but largely as a reinforcing tool rather than a decisive one. Kwame Dadzie notes that *Jejereje* was not only played at NDC rallies but also featured on NPP campaign platforms.
Quick Summary
Stonebwoy's claim that his song 'Jejereje' significantly contributed to the NDC's 2024 electoral victory has sparked debate- raising questions about music's influence on political outcomes. While music can play a role in campaigns, the extent of its impact remains a subject of discussion- particularly when assessing individual songs.
