Broadcast journalist Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has officially resigned from Media General and its Onua TV/FM platforms as he prepares to enter active politics.

The outspoken broadcaster is reportedly stepping away from his media career to focus on his ambition of contesting the Gomoa West parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Captain Smart, who has built a strong reputation in Ghana’s media space through his bold commentary on national issues, has been a prominent voice on Onua TV and Onua FM, where he has consistently engaged in discussions on political, social, and economic matters.

His departure from Media General marks a significant transition from journalism into partisan politics, with his reported parliamentary ambition expected to generate considerable interest within the Gomoa West constituency and beyond.

If he proceeds with his bid, Captain Smart is expected to leverage his years of public engagement and extensive media exposure as he enters the political arena.

The Gomoa West parliamentary contest is anticipated to attract significant attention as political parties and prospective candidates position themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle.

His resignation also comes at a time when several journalists and media personalities are transitioning into active politics, drawing on their public profiles and long-standing engagement with citizens.

This development is likely to spark renewed discussions about the intersection of journalism, public advocacy, and partisan politics, particularly given his high-profile presence in Ghana’s media landscape.

Further details regarding his political plans, including the NDC’s internal processes and his potential participation in the party’s parliamentary primaries, are expected to emerge in the coming days.
