Samini Reacts to Ablekuma West NPP Flyer
The flyer, which spread on social media this week, claimed the musician had declared his intention to seek the NPP’s parliamentary candidacy in Ablekuma West ahead of the 2028 general elections.
According to Adom Online, the design described him as “rooted in the community” and “committed to creating a legacy of opportunity, unity and development for Ablekuma West.”
Samini quickly distanced himself from it. On his official Facebook page, he shared the same flyer with the word “FAKE” stamped across it and told his followers: “Please disregard this!! Not true.”

Samini said the flyer did not originate from his camp and should not be taken as a sign of his political plans. He advised netizens to confirm information through his verified channels before sharing it.
He did not say who created or circulated the design. He also did not say whether he has any political ambitions of his own.
Not the First Time
This is not the first time Samini has had to deny a political flyer. In 2021, a similar design claimed he was eyeing the Wa Central parliamentary seat on the NPP ticket for the 2024 elections. He distanced himself from that one as well, according to GhanaWeb and Adom Online.
The fresh denial comes as the musician remains busy with his music brand, including his Samini Xperience 2026 project.
Celebrities and the NPP Primaries
The flyer surfaced at a time when the NPP’s online declaration-of-intent portal was open. According to 3News, the window ran from 1 to 10 November 2026, and prospective parliamentary candidates, including sitting MPs, are required to pay a GH¢5,000 fee.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, has said that registering interest does not permit aspirants to start campaigning in constituencies. The declaration is only the first administrative step, with nominations and vetting still to come.
Several public figures, including media personalities, have declared parliamentary ambitions for 2028, YEN.com.gh reported. YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon recently hinted at contesting the Madina seat on the NPP ticket, while comedian Salinko declared his intention to run for MP on the same party’s ticket.
What Samini’s Denial Means
For now, Samini’s position is clear: he is not behind the Ablekuma West flyer, and fans should not treat it as his declaration. As of Wednesday, 11 November 2026, he had not announced any plan to enter the race.
His quick response also adds to growing calls from public figures for fans to verify claims on official pages before sharing them, as fake flyers continue to circulate during the primaries season.
