Things will change if John Mahama becomes President- Kafui Danku
Ghanaian actress, Kafui Danku has expressed strong optimism in the leadership of John Mahama to turn things around for Ghanaians and the movie industry when voted as President.
According to her she is feeling the hardship, but optimistic that when John Mahama becomes President, things will change for the better.
Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM’s Doreen Avio, she said, the issue of funding, distribution among others remains the bane of the movie industry, but has worsened under this government.
“Let’s get back to work, still do our part and try to step harder to see if something will change, I am still hopeful it will get better, especially when my party wins, when the NDC comes back to power,” she said.
On whether she supports the NDC, Kafui Danku revealed that “Yes I am an NDC, I have been following John Mahama’s campaign, campaign and seen how he is passionate about our industry. I have heard him on how he can’t wait for us to enjoy 5G so we can create our content.”
Kafui Danku further added that John Mahama has plans for the movie industry, adding that “I am sure you have seen in the news where he has been supporting some old actors, you can tell he has passion for arts and the people who paved the way. I know definitely that when is back in power he is going to do something to make it better.”
The actress said she has experienced high inflation making life unbearable for the citizens.
She further added that Mahama’s 24hrs economy policy is something which could be a game changer and create more jobs for Ghanaians.
“This would lead to a robust economy with a better exchange rate, and the cost of living would become better,” she concluded.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
