CEO of Ghana Music Awards-USA, also known as Don D, Dennis Boafo, has revealed plans to run for the 2028 NDC parliamentary primaries for Ho Central.

Don D has made a name for himself in the music industry by successfully organizing five awards events in the United States, supporting Ghanaian music in the diaspora.

In an exclusive interview with Tony Best on Akoma Mmre on Akoma FM, he shared his belief that he can help improve Ghana’s creative industry by entering politics. He emphasized that his decision to run is not motivated by financial gain, noting that the salary of a Ghanaian parliamentarian is minimal.

“My goal in politics isn’t about the perks, but about using the parliamentary platform to make Ghana’s music and creative arts more appealing,” he said.

If Dennis Boafo goes ahead with his plans, he will face strong competition from the current MP, Edem Kofi Kpotosu

“I am doing well as a person, I am running GMA USA, and I’m doing well. People may be quick to say I’m going into politics because of money. How much is the salary of a parliamentarian in Ghana? Its peanut.

“My decision to venture into politics has nothing to do with the perceived entitlement that comes with it. I aim to leverage on platform of parliament and make Ghana’s music and creative arts at large attractive,” he said.

Should Dennis Boafo carry on with his aspiration, he will draw a fierce contest with incumbent MP, Edem Kofi Kpotosu.
