Kwame Dzokoto, a Ghanaian television personality, comedian, actor and politician, died on October 22, 2026, aged 51.
Also known as Seth Kwame Dzokoto, he was associated with the TV3 programme Edziban, which he hosted. The show explored Ghanaian food joints and cuisines, bringing food and dining places into its television coverage.
His work in entertainment included comedy and acting, alongside his role as a presenter. Dzokoto also entered electoral politics. In Ghana’s 2016 general election, he stood for the National Democratic Congress in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency. He did not win the seat; it went to Mireku Duker of the New Patriotic Party. Dzokoto collapsed during a live radio discussion at Owass Radio in Tarkwa on October 22, 2026. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. His public career thus spanned television, comedy, acting and party politics, with Edziban and his campaign in Tarkwa-Nsuaem among the documented parts of his work. The programme’s focus on local food establishments and cuisines distinguished it among the roles for which he was known, while his 2016 candidacy marked his participation in Ghana’s national elections.
