TV presenter and
actor, Kwame Djokoto,has confirmed to Graphic
Showbiz that he is contesting as Member of Parliament for the Tarkwa
–Nsuaem Constituency and says he would still be acting even when he wins the
elections and becomes a member of parliament.
‘’Yes, I’m contesting for the Tarkwa-
Nsuaem constituency.I would be acting but I would consider the roles and my
time because when your position changes, you have to also uplift yourself’’
The Efiewura and Edziban actor was confident that he would
win the elections because he has been helping his constituents for a long time
even though he is no politician. ‘’ They always tell me, ‘ Kwame, go and tell
them for us because you are from Accra. Tell them to come and do our roads for
us’. Amazingly, when I go and see the authorities, the issue is quickly
resolved.
So, they just came to tell me to contest
for them to make my help official because I have been leading these people for
years through my being a school organiser. They always see me as a helper though I’m only
an actor. I just told myself, I’m a national icon, so why don’t I make it
official by contesting to further help my people?’’
He was grateful to his fans for their
support all these years and assured them that he would not be leaving the
screens entirely. He wants his fans to address him with his new catch phrase,
Our MP, Our Friend’
