Vivian Jill Lawrence
Kumawood actress Vivian Jill Lawrence has been distanced from a viral flyer that suggests she will contest the Bantama parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). A blog page close to the actress says she knew nothing about the artwork, which has been shared widely on social media since Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Quick Facts

What the Viral Bantama Flyer Shows
The flyer features a photo of the actress dressed in a traditional smock with a matching scarf. It is set against a background in NDC colours and carries the party’s logo.
In bold red and white letters, it reads “Watch Out Bantama Constituency”. Many social media users read it as a signal that the actress was preparing to enter parliamentary politics in the Ashanti Region constituency.

According to GhanaWeb, the artwork was not released with the actress’s knowledge or approval and should not be taken as a sign that she plans to run for office.
Vivian Jill herself has not yet spoken publicly about the flyer or the rumours that followed it.
NDC Yet to Open Parliamentary Nominations
The flyer surfaced at a time when the NDC has not officially opened nominations for its parliamentary candidates.
According to YEN.com.gh, the party on September 14, 2026, directed its members to stop all activities with parliamentary campaign undertones until nominations are formally opened. The party is yet to announce its nomination timetable.
A Second Celebrity Flyer in Days
The Vivian Jill episode comes shortly after a similar flyer claimed that dancehall musician Samini would contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in Ablekuma West. Samini dismissed the claims and described the flyer as fake.
The rumours come amid growing interest from entertainers in parliamentary politics. YEN.com.gh reported this week that veteran musician Obour has declared his intention to contest the NPP primaries in Asante Akyem South, while content creator Kwadwo Sheldon recently hinted at contesting the Madina seat on the NPP ticket in 2028.
Not Her First Brush With Political Rumours
This is not the first time the actress has had to deal with talk linking her to politics. In May 2025, after a viral audio about a school feeding contract in the Ahafo Ano South constituency, she shared an old interview clip on her Instagram Stories, YEN.com.gh reported. In the clip, she urged people not to comment on rumours before hearing all sides of a story.
She has also been at the centre of other public disputes in the past, including the saga that led Kwabena Boakye to invoke curses on Abro.
Who Is Vivian Jill Lawrence?
Vivian Jill Lawrence is one of the familiar faces of the Kumawood film industry. She made her acting debut in Daakayee Asem and has since appeared in many local films, including Kayayo, Adom, Sekina and Red Card.
Beyond acting, she is the CEO of the Jill Foundation and is known for her charity work. She once built and furnished a house for an elderly woman in Bibiani Ayeresu in the Western North Region.
For now, her camp’s position is clear: the actress has nothing to do with the Bantama flyer. Fans will be watching to see whether Vivian Jill Lawrence addresses the matter herself in the coming days.
