Two renowned Ghana movie personalities, David Dontoh and Abeiku Sagoe have disclosed that they will contest the presidency of the Actors Guild of Ghana.

The two believe that they have what it takes to turn around the fortunes of the Guild, which has currently lost its spark.

Both gentlemen made their intentions known exclusively on Rhythmz A-Z on Joy FM with Mamavi Owusu-Aboagye Saturday.

The Ghana Actors Guild, an umbrella body for actors in the country, has over the years come under a lot of criticisms from stakeholders who say the guild is not attractive enough.

After the death of its president, Rev Eddie Coffie last year, the Guild is still yet to elect a new leader. Actor John Dumelo, who is a member of the Guild, during an interview with Joy News said the Guild needs youthful leadership to be vibrant again.

Popular Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo also commenting on the current state of the Guild also said the Ghana Actors Guild has lost its relevance.

“I am sorry to say that even though we have a Guild it is not as vibrant as I would have wished it to be, I believe it is not that good,” he told MzGee on Hitz FM’s Entertainment This Week.

As the Guild prepares to hold elections in May this year, with the hope of saving its ship from sinking, Mr Dontoh and Mr. Sagoe believe they have what it takes to make things better.
