Away from the screen, Djokoto was an active member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat in the 2016 general elections. He was defeated by the New Patriotic Party's George Mireku Duker but remained a well-known and respected figure within the constituency and among party supporters.

Djokoto passed away on October 22, 2026, at the age of 51 after falling ill during a morning discussion programme on Owass Radio in Tarkwa. He was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

His death prompted immediate responses from both Ghana's entertainment and political communities.
