Samuel Nyamekye aka Miracle Films has stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if Kumasi-based actors who supported the National Democratic Congress (NDC) do not secure positions in the new John Mahama administration.
As argued by him, Kumawood actors were not as vocal or actively involved in the campaign compared to others who have now been appointed.
Speaking on Akoma FM’s Entertainment 360 with Tony Best, the veteran movie producer pointed out that if Kumawood actors had intensified their efforts during the election period, they might have had a better chance of landing key roles.
“You remember how Agya Koo and others took to the stage during the 2016 campaign, boldly expressing their views? If you compare that to NDC-affiliated Kumawood actors in 2024, they made an effort, but it wasn’t as significant as what Rex Omar and Abeiku Santana did,” he explained.
Mr. Nyamekye further noted that while some, including Sly, openly supported the party, their level of commitment was not as impactful.
“To me, if none of them is appointed, I wouldn’t be surprised. I would encourage them to go the extra mile next time to secure such opportunities,” he advised.
