Celebrated Ghanaian comedian and entertainer, Derick Kobina Bonney (DKB), has captured public attention by returning from the United States to cast his vote in the upcoming Ghanaian elections.

A staunch supporter of former President John Dramani Mahama, DKB documented his journey on social media, urging young Ghanaians to evaluate candidates critically before heading to the polls. His vocal advocacy for Mahama underscores his commitment to seeing the nation thrive under a leader he believes has a vision for progress.

In an interview, DKB expressed his unwavering support for Mahama, emphasizing the former president’s contributions to Ghana’s creative arts industry. “Among all the candidates, John Mahama has shown the most care for the creative arts sector,” he stated. “His leadership resonates with me because he understands our industry’s potential and is passionate about its growth.

I am confident that under his leadership, the industry will experience a much-needed transformation.” He also clarified that his support for Mahama is not driven by personal gain but by his desire for a brighter future for the arts.

As Ghana prepares for the polls on December 7, 2024, DKB’s return highlights the increasing engagement of influential figures in the country’s political landscape.

His decision to travel from abroad to vote underscores the significance of active participation in shaping the nation’s future. While it remains unclear whether his endorsement will sway voters, DKB’s actions have amplified the conversation around the importance of every individual’s role in democracy, both at home and abroad.
