Ghanaian dancehall artist Samini has rejected claims that he plans to run in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Ablekuma West Constituency.
The claims emerged after a campaign-style poster featuring his photo and the party’s colours began circulating. It included the words “Declaration of Intent”.
The poster indicated that the musician, whose full name is Emmanuel Andrew Samini, was seeking the NPP nomination to contest the constituency in the 2028 general elections.
It also featured the slogan “Akye Saaaaaa” and promised to support opportunity, unity and development in Ablekuma West.
Samini, however, posted the image on social media marked with a large “FAKE” label and told people not to believe it.
“Please disregard this!! Not true,” he wrote.
He did not say who made or shared the poster.
