This comes after Gyan was appointed as chairman of the Youth and Sports Manifesto sub-committee for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign earlier in 2024.

He was seen participating in campaign events with the NPP’s presidential candidate, including a recent campaign walk in Akropong in the Eastern Region.

However, the 38-year-old now plans to distance himself from political affiliations and focus solely on his independent humanitarian work.

In his post, Gyan wrote: “I haven’t been fair to the youth and the people of Ghana. Henceforth, I am not affiliated with any political party. I will continue with my humanitarian work and help the youth of Ghana in my own small way. Nothing political. I wish all the political parties a peaceful election on December 7. God bless our homeland Ghana.”

The football icon concluded by wishing all parties a peaceful election, emphasizing his commitment to non-partisan social contributions moving forward.
