Seth Kwame Dzokoto, a Ghanaian actor, comedian, broadcaster and politician, passed away on October 22, 2026, following a collapse during a panel discussion on Owass Radio in Tarkwa. Raised in the fishing community of Sekondi, West Region, Dzokoto's upbringing there later shaped his humor and connection to ordinary Ghanaians. Beginning his media career in Tarkwa, he gained fame on Skyy Power FM in Takoradi with the popular mid-morning show "Odam Sokoo."
His television appearances in Efiewura, Osumesi, and Edziban earned him a CIMG Television Programme of the Year award. A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dzokoto contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat in 2016 but lost to George Mireku Duker of the New Patriotic Party. He also sought the position of District/Municipal Chief Executive for Tarkwa-Nsuaem, though he felt he lacked a senior party advocate to advance his candidacy.
Dzokoto completed an LLB and earned a Master of Science in Defence and International Politics in August 2025. Throughout his life, he battled health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart complications. In September 2026, he dismissed rumors of death and serious illness, urging media to verify information before publication.
Ghanaians remember Dzokoto for his laughter, warmth, and contributions to both entertainment and public service.
