Accra, Oct. 22, GNA – Ghanaian actor, television personality and politician Kwame Dzokoto has passed on.
According to sources, Dzokoto was rushed to a hospital in Tarkwa after collapsing and was pronounced dead on arrival.
Dzokoto was widely known for his role as Judge Koboo in the popular television series Efiewura and as host of TV3’s Edziban programme.
His role in Efiewura made him a familiar face in Ghanaian households and became one of the defining performances of his entertainment career.
Beyond acting, Dzokoto carved a niche for himself as a television presenter, particularly through Edziban, a food and tourism programme that explored Ghanaian cuisine, local eateries and culinary experiences across the country.
His work extended beyond acting and television presenting to radio broadcasting, comedy and advertising voice-overs, establishing him as a versatile figure in Ghana’s media and entertainment industry.
Dzokoto also worked in radio, including stints with Skyy Power FM in Takoradi and Hello FM in Kumasi.
His broadcasting work complemented his television and voice-over career, making him a familiar voice as well as a recognisable face.
Outside the entertainment industry, Dzokoto ventured into partisan politics with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat on the ticket of the NDC in the 2016 general election but was unsuccessful.
His entry into politics added another dimension to a public career that spanned entertainment, broadcasting and public affairs.
