NDC observes moment of silence in honor of Kwame Dzokoto

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) paid tribute to actor and former parliamentary candidate Seth Kwame Dzokoto by observing a moment of silence in his honor following his passing on Thursday, October 22, 2026. General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey urged party members to join in the tribute, expressing condolences and wishing his soul peace.

Dzokoto, renowned for his portrayal of Judge Koboo in the TV series Efiewura and his role as host of TV3's Edziban, was a dedicated member of the NDC who entered partisan politics prior to the 2016 elections. He secured the party's parliamentary primary for Tarkwa-Nsuaem in November 2015, garnering 1,415 votes against Joseph Otchere's 398.

Although he lost the 2016 election to George Mireku Duker of the New Patriotic Party, Dzokoto continued to engage in the party's affairs, contributing to policies in tourism, arts, and culture. He furthered his education, earning a Bachelor of Laws degree and a Master of Science in Defence and International Politics from the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College in 2025.

Dzokoto's sudden death during a radio discussion on Owass Radio in Tarkwa, where he was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead upon arrival, was confirmed by the NDC's Western Regional Communication Officer, Kirk Mensah.
