Afrifa-Mensah to contest Afigya Sekyere East seat
Meanwhile, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has officially declared his bid to become a Member of Parliament in 2028.
Speaking on his For The Record show on Saturday, February 21, 2026, the outspoken media personality announced that he would contest the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency seat in the Ashanti Region.
Describing his vision for the constituency as a 'rebuilding agenda', Afrifa-Mensah reaffirmed his commitment to serving his people.
"The General Secretary has released the election timetable for the party's internal elections, and I am interested in contesting the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency parliamentary seat. We want the party to appear attractive, so whatever happens, we will follow the process closely and ensure it becomes appealing again," he stated
He also spoke about his background and connections to the constituency.
"Today, I stand here as a Bomfa Asante Akyem resident, nurtured by my grandmother in Suame, though originally from Asante Agona. The young child shaped by KNUST Primary and moulded by Mfantsipim is the same one whose life has opened doors I never imagined.
"I studied Public Relations at GIMPA, earned a master's in Diplomacy and International Relations at the same institution, and my desire to understand the law brought me to the US, where I am pursuing a master's in law," he said.
He added that his education and achievements would be meaningless if they did not benefit his constituency.

Kevin Taylor slams Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah

It all began a few weeks ago when Captain Smart took to his show to allege that Okatakyie had been relocated to America by the New Patriotic Party to compete with Taylor.
His allegation caught the attention of Ghanaians, who had earlier thought Okatakyie had relocated for educational purposes, sparking a massive debate on social media.
However, Okatakyie-Afrifa clapped back at Captain Smart over the rumoured reason for his leaving Ghana for the US, lashing out at Taylor for repeatedly 'coming after him'.
