Ghanaians on social media have expressed their shock and disappointment at Broadcast journalist Godsbrain Smart Nkansah, popularly known as Captain Smart, over his Member of Parliament ambition.
In a viral video shared on X, Captain Smart was captured as he began a free Ghana Card registration exercise for constituents of Gomoa West.
According to reports, Captain Smart’s free Ghana Card registration exercise started from Gomoa Mozano, as part of his efforts to become the Member of Parliament for the constituency.
Some netizens reacting to the video fired shots at Captain Smart for attempting to use a state-owned organisation to score political points.
“Foolish guy. Do you think you can win an election by using a state-owned organisation to score political points?”, the netizen wrote.
A netizen added, “So he wouldn’t have done this if he didn’t want to be an MP?
Oh Ghana, it is finished!”.
A netizen added, “Captain Smart for Gomoa West paaa deɛ nka Richard Gyan should continue being our MP apuuu”.
One X user added, “The registration is free, dada so what’s up? We know their cunning ways”.
“You see how we’ve lowered our standards. He see say money dey there”, a netizen added.
“Looks like Gomoa people love voting for dumb people to lead them; already Gomoa Central voted for A Plus as their MP and now the West is going to vote for another dumb as their MP”, a netizen added.
An X user added, “We need to be genuine and truly care about people. Helping others should come from a place of real love, not from using them to advance our own agendas. This guy seems completely insincere”.
One netizen added, “Foolish guy. Do you think you can win an election by using a state-owned organisation to score political points”.
An X user added, “This guy is just dumb, but if he wins through these gimmicks, then that constituency is full of dumber people”.
Meanwhile, Captain Smart has declared that he will contest the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries.
According to Captain Smart, he will be contesting in the Gomoa West Constituency.
Captain Smart expressed his confidence in winning both the party’s primaries and the parliamentary election.
Speaking in an interview shared on social media on July 12, 2026, Captain Smart stated, “We need to change the face of politics…I will be contesting the NDC primaries, and I will win to become the Member of Parliament for this constituency”.
Captain Smart argued that concerns of residents have gone unheard for too long, stressing the need for responsive leadership.
“The cry is so loud, and it seems nobody is listening”, he stated.
The Ghanaian media personality also highlighted some of the initiatives he claims to have supported in the constituency; Captain Smart stated, “We already have 42 boreholes, ten six-unit classroom blocks, free Wi-Fi, free Ghana Cards and other interventions”.
Meanwhile, Captain Smart’s declaration comes despite claims by some officials of the NDC that he is not a registered member of the party.
