Kumasi-based actress cum producer Tracy Boakye has denied claims on social media that she was in a relationship with former President John Dramani Mahama ahead of the 2016 polls.
Ms Boakye came under heavy criticism when she publicly campaigned for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its candidate Mr Mahama.
She was most often at the receiving end of criticism and abuse by some sympathisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on social media, with many suggesting she was dating the former president and had only endorsed him for financial reward.
But speaking on Accra FM on Saturday 13 May, the Devil Between My Legs producer said it is “impossible” for her to date Mr Mahama.
Asked if she ever dated the former president, the Oh Vera actress said: “This question is not funny. What is going on on social media is not funny. He is a statesman; you can’t just say something simple like that, let’s respect our elders. I have seen many stories that say I’m dating him but I decided to ignore because I ask myself’ ‘Is this even funny?’ He is a decent elderly man who respects himself, so how is it possible? This is the [former] president we are talking about. He doesn’t know me, I only endorsed him. He saw me in Kumasi once or twice, I don’t even know if he will recognise me today but then you say I’m dating him, how? It’s impossible.”
Meanwhile, Ms Boakye said she would campaign again for Mr Mahama should he get the mandate from the NDC to lead them into the 2020 polls.

MAHAMA TOOK ALL THE REGIONS DEVELOPMENT TO ASHANTI BUT THEY STILL DONT LIKE HIM. ONLY FEW SEE THAT.A LADY THINKING OUTSIDE FROM THE CROWDS
PART OF THE REASONS WHY NDC LOST THE ELECTION WAS DUE TO CHARACTERS LIKE TRACY AND MZBEL.
Don't mind the haters,gud for nothin ***barred word***.keep yur head up my dear.#adepa@ Tracy 1
Ashawooooo koboko
Tracy stands out very unique and brave. I also respect her for her braveness and being forthright. She stands out very 'tall' knowing how difficult it is for most Ashanti NDC supporters to do show their support for the party. In any case Tracy has on numerous occasions said her support for NDC is because of Mahama, meaning she may not support NDC if the flag bearer is changed.
Dude chop lalalalalalalalalalala we all know de dude chop u
I respect this lady. Maybe she is the most sensible,principled and courageous lady among the Ashantis. Brave girl, l stood up to type this out of RESPECT
Ms Boakye ask yourself where you come from and the people around you who they are and what party they support. This will tell you that if anyone like you who decides to go opposite to the "normal" direction, you will be branded as such. What prompted to act like that. The results are what is happening to you.
who cares . Mahama like big bottos any ways.
SMART LADY!
