Brempong highlighted that musicians, including gospel artists, can embrace partisan views while still resonating with diverse audiences in a polarized society.
"As much as the gospel musician is an individual with ideologies, they can align with a political party," Brempong stated. "But the awareness that their ministry caters to people from various political persuasions should be acknowledged, especially in Ghana."
