NDC Receives Sad News

Ghanaian actor, comedian and politician Seth Kwame Dzokoto has died after reportedly collapsing during a radio discussion at Owass Radio in Tarkwa, in the Western Region.

Reports published on Thursday, October 22, 2026, indicate that the entertainer became unwell while participating in a panel discussion on the radio station’s morning programme.

According to reports by Citi Newsroom and other Ghanaian media outlets, Dzokoto was taken to a hospital in Tarkwa following the incident but was pronounced dead on arrival. A source close to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the political party with which he was affiliated, reportedly confirmed his death.

Details surrounding the incident and the medical cause of his death had not been officially disclosed at the time of publication.

Dzokoto was a familiar face in Ghana’s entertainment industry, particularly through his role as Judge Koboo in the popular television series Efiewura. He also gained recognition as the presenter of Edziban, a television programme that showcased Ghanaian cuisine and food culture.

Beyond acting and television presentation, he worked in radio broadcasting and comedy, building a career across different areas of the media industry.

Dzokoto was also actively involved in politics under the NDC. He contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat on the party’s ticket during the 2016 general elections.

His reported death comes weeks after he publicly addressed rumours about his health in September 2026. During an interview, he dismissed speculation about his death and spoke about health challenges he had been experiencing.

As news of his passing emerges, further details regarding the circumstances of his death, tributes from colleagues and funeral arrangements are expected to follow.

Dzokoto’s reported passing marks a significant loss for Ghana’s entertainment industry, where he was known for his contributions to television, comedy and broadcasting.
