Ghanaian Kumawood actor Clement Bonney, popularly known as Mr Beautiful, has revealed his ambition to become the next President of Ghana.
Speaking on the Daybreak Hitz show with Kwame Dadzie on HitzFM on Wednesday, March 4, the actor boldly declared his presidential aspirations when asked whether he had interest in occupying a political position.
“Yes, I want to become the next president. Who doesn’t want to be birthed by a rich person?” he said, suggesting that aiming high is part of personal growth and ambition.
Surprised by the response, the host sought clarification, asking if he would not prefer to start from a lower political office.
Responding, Mr Beautiful explained that leadership is a process.
“Becoming means a process. I’ll go through certain processes to become. So starting from somewhere is part of the process,” he noted.
When pressed further on where he would like to begin that journey, he indicated that serving as a Member of Parliament could be a possible starting point.
“Somewhere like an MP is possible. If I have the resources and my community and my constituency think that I can serve them better, I’ll go. Why not?” he stated.
The actor emphasised that he does not believe in waiting for the “right time” before pursuing one’s goals.
“I’m not the kind of people who say, ‘Oh, it’s not time to start something.’ Dream big, start now, start small,” he added.
Mr Beautiful’s comments add to the growing number of Ghanaian entertainers who have openly expressed interest in political leadership, signaling the increasing intersection between the creative arts industry and governance in Ghana.
