Samini dismisses rumours of contesting NPP parliamentary primaries in Ablekuma West

Veteran Ghanaian dancehall musician Samini has dismissed reports claiming he intends to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Ablekuma West Constituency.

A flyer circulating on social media, bearing his photo and birth name, Emmanuel Andrew Samini, claimed the musician had declared his intention to seek the party’s parliamentary candidacy.

The flyer, which featured the slogan “Akye Saaaaaa” and a message about building a legacy for the constituency, quickly gained traction online.

Reacting to the publication, Samini took to Facebook to deny any involvement, describing the flyer as false.

“Please disregard this!! Not true,” he wrote while sharing the flyer, which he had stamped with the caution “FAKE.”

The musician did not disclose who created or circulated the flyer but urged the public to verify information from his official platforms before sharing it.

This is not the first time Samini has had to debunk claims about entering partisan politics.

In 2021, a similar flyer surfaced online suggesting he planned to contest the parliamentary seat for Wa Central on the NPP ticket in the 2024 elections.

At the time, he also distanced himself from the publication, insisting it was false and had not originated from his camp.

Pls disregard this lol … with all due respect 🙏🏾 https://t.co/WFvR1AmDdI
