Daddy Lumba and other celebrities who have never been hurt by their politics
Politics in a democracy, by its sheer nature, means that people will be up against each other in terms of ideas and intentions of bettering their community.
Ghana is no different from any other democracy. Mass support is split between the two major political parties.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have between them, controlled the affairs of Ghana since the return of democracy in 1992.
Celebrities in Ghana have also not been shy to express their support since the idea of freedom of speech became more enunciated. These celebrities come out usually in election years.
However, not all celebrities have managed to survive the backlash that comes with supporting a political party. But there a strong few.
