Kwame Sefa Kayi's absence from Peace FM
Sefa Kayi, the longstanding host of Peace FM's Kokrokoo Morning Show, has been absent from the programme since the start of 2025.
Initially, he was thought to be on a regular leave, but it later emerged that his absence was due to his long-standing dispute with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Recall that the NDC boycotted Sefa Kayi's show in May 2020 over an issue between Sefa Kayi and the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi. Kwame Sefa Kayi nearly sacked Sammy Gyamfi, the then Communication Officer of the party, from the morning show during an episode after the latter allegedly disrespected him.
After the near-sacking episode, the NDC withdrew their representation on the show, describing Sefa Kayi as a dictator.
Shortly after President John Mahama was sworn into office after the NDC's win in the 2024 elections, rumours started that the party had asked Sefa Kayi's employers to remove him from his role as the morning show host.
His long absence thus deepened the rumour that he had either been sacked from the media house or forced to resign.
However, Sefa Kayi granted an interview dismissing these reports, assuring the public of his return.

NDC resolves differences with Peace FM
As the speculations went viral, the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, a.k.a. General Mosquito, announced an end to the party's boycott of Peace FM.
In an interview on June 20, 2025, General Mosquito indicated that the party had resolved its differences with Peace FM and was ready to return to the Kokrokoo morning show.
"Several meetings have been held and we have reached an amicable solution. The political parties and media are allies. From today, as National Chairman, I want to inform Ghanaians that we have ended our boycott of the Kokrokoo show," he said.
Following the announcement, the NDC began sending representatives to Kokrokoo, with the sit-in host Nana Yaw Kesse announcing on a recent episode that Sefa Kayi was set to return in the middle of July.
