Comedian and actor Kwame Dzokoto is popular on radio and television but will that be enough to win him a seat in Ghana’s legislature?
Social media platforms have been awash with posters purported to have emerged from the actor.
The posters suggests that Seth Kwame Dzokoto may be staking a claim for the Parliamentary ticket of the governing National Democratic Congress in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Constituency of the Western Region.
The poster has sent social media buzzing.
Attempts by Myjoyonline.com to get confirmation from the comedian proved futile.
Sources close to Kwame Dzokoto, however, disclosed to Myjoyonline.com that he is using the posters to test political waters.
He wants to measure his popularity and see if it is a wise decision to vie for the Tarkwa Nsuaem seat which is currently held by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
It is unclear if he will be contesting in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries later this year.
