During the Jerry John Rawlings era, Maame Dokono entered politics after becoming well-known for her work as the host of By the Fire Side and as an Akan drama series on GTV. Because of her relationship with former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, she first allied herself with the National Democratic Congress (NDC). However, when Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was appointed flagbearer for the NPP in 2008, she changed her political allegiance to the NPP. However, after the NPP lost the election, this choice caused a large backlash.
Maame Dokono intends to celebrate her impending 60th birthday in the entertainment business on September 7, 2024, with a number of events, such as a health screening and the publication of her book. She has expressed regret over the difficulties brought on by her political affiliations and has pledged to abstain from politics despite her prior involvement in the field.
