Socrate Sarfo has maintained that Politics is not a divider in the creative arts industry.

According to him, even though celebrities are on opposition sides due to differences in choices during the elections, they always come together strong after the elections.

This comes after some celebrities decided to campaign against their colleague John Dumelo, who was contesting for the seat at Ayawaso West Wuogon.

Prince David Osei, Kalybos, Bibi Bright, Socrates Safo, among others mounted the New Patriotic Party platform and openly endorsed and campaigned for Lydia Seyram Alhassan, who was contesting against John Dumelo.

It began a vicious rumor that the entertainment scene has no unity in it. 

Veteran actress, Christiana Awuni, came out to say that she was disgusted with the celebrities that campaigned against John Adu Melo.

"We don’t love ourselves, that is the bottom line. We are like the proverbial forest, from afar we look like we are together but when you come close we are all on our own, other than that, they would not have done what they did."

"Even if they love the woman, even if they will vote for her, they would never have come out openly to ridicule their own brother by openly campaigning for the woman and later they will come and be all friendly with John Dumelo…"

Socrate Sarfo has now gone against the statement.

The prominent member of the communications team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on creative arts issues and a movie producer, speaking on the Entertainment Review Show on Peace FM said the perception that politics has divided the industry is not a true reflection of what is on the ground.

Socrates said there is a level of maturity the creative arts has brought into our body politic that never used to be there and wanted people to know that.

“When it comes to those of us on the field campaigning, I’ll tell you that we have shown some maturity that is far better than how people used to do politics in this country. Between those of us in the NPP and NDC, we are more united than people may realize."

"Between say Saddick, Rex and us, we talk every day, when there is a challenge, we call each other, we talk, we rebuke each other. Even after the elections, we’ve had several conversations, healthy friendly conversations, so it is not as bad as people think…”he added.
