The public has seen their favorite showbiz figures become politicians during the previous several years in Ghanaian politics history.
While some of them were successful in their endeavors, others were not, and they continued working in their original fields.
Others have attempted to join in the government of our magnificent nation, despite the fact that certain Hollywood figures’ careers have been negatively impacted by their involvement in politics.
The approaching 2024 elections will be no exception, as a number of well-known public figures have already indicated their intention to contest for various seats in Ghana’s parliament.
Four or five additional candidates—all well-known figures—have filled out nomination papers to run in the opposition National Democratic Congress’s primaries, which will take place in May ahead of the 2024 elections.
Below is a list of every new contestant:
- Abdullai Abu Sadiq (Baba Sadiq), a businessman in the music and media industry, formally declared his intention to run in the parliamentary primaries of the National Democratic Congress. He plans to run for office in the Okaikoi Central Constituency.
