Ghanaian actor and broadcaster Mikki Osei-Berko, popularly known as Master Richard, has revealed the likelihood of his venturing into politics in the near future.

Speaking during an appearance on Joy Prime, host of Prime Morning, Roselyn Felli, asked about his chances of becoming a Member of Parliament (MP). he responded, "Probably yes."

Mikki has served as an Assembly Member for the Ayidiki Electoral Area in Accra for about 20 years.

“Because I think there are so many things that our parliamentarians have not looked at. I feel that governance in this country has not been so creative; they only take taxes and borrow money.

But I feel that there are opportunities that can bring the country money and sustain the citizenry through creativity and business-oriented governance,” he explained.

Speaking about his position as an Assembly Member in the past, he said on Changes, “I went as an independent candidate in the direction of God. I didn’t even think about it with anybody. I took the decision on the inspiration of God. I contested; everybody thought that I couldn’t win, but I won.”

However, he had to do just one term because he needed to leave the country to further his education.

“Even before the term ended, I had the opportunity to go outside to school. I went to the New York Film Academy to study film production, so before the term ended I had to go, and I thought that it was better to educate myself and come back a better person than just remain in politics,” he said.

Mikki Osei-Berko is well-known for his comedic characters, such as Kokonsa on Radio Gold, Dada Boat, and Master Richard on both radio and TV. He is admired for his impressive acting in films and his entertaining roles in commercials.
