Story By: Zainab Ali

Ghanaian dancehall musician Samini has dismissed reports suggesting that he intends to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Ablekuma West Constituency ahead of the 2028 general elections.

The speculation gained attention after a flyer bearing his photograph and full name, Emmanuel Andrew Samini, circulated on social media, suggesting that the award-winning musician had declared his intention to seek the party’s parliamentary candidacy.

However, Samini has publicly rejected the claims, describing the flyer as false and urging the public to disregard it. In a response shared on social media, the musician wrote, “Please disregard this!! Not true,” making it clear that the announcement did not come from him.

The development comes at a time when several public figures and media personalities are expressing interest in participating in the NPP’s parliamentary primaries.
Samini’s response has generated conversations about the increasing involvement of entertainers in Ghanaian politics and the spread of unverified political announcements on social media.

Despite the speculation, the musician has not announced any intention to enter parliamentary politics.
