Agya Koo trends as he hits the streets to promote his new party

Agya Koo, a Veteran Ghanaian actor, long known as a staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is in the news yet again as he hits the streets to promote his new political movement, “The Base – Ghana First.”

The Veteran Ghanaian actor unveiled the initiative after engaging with traders, drivers, graduates and other residents at Kejetia in Kumasi.

According to Agya Koo, his interactions pointed to a growing desire among citizens for alternatives beyond the NPP and the NDC.

In a post shared on X, SIKAOFFICIAL wrote, “Veteran Ghanaian artist Agya Koo has arrived in Accra to officially register his newly established political party and to promote it to the people in the capital”.

Another X influencer wrote, “Agya Koo Hints at New Party During Market Visit.

Actor Agya Koo received a massive welcome at Kantamanto Market, where he reportedly teased plans to launch a new political group called the Base Party”.

Earlier, Agya Koo announced he had dumped the  New Patriotic Party (NPP), spearheading a movement to establish a new political party called the Ghana First Party.

The Veteran Ghanaian actor, in the past, was seen on numerous campaign platforms of the NPP but has now highlighted that Ghana needs a third force to address the shortcomings of both the NDC and NPP, which is why he decided to form this coalition.

Agya Koo also supported Kennedy Agyapong during the NPP’s presidential primaries.

According to Agya Koo, all sixteen regions are preparing to contribute to the establishment of Ghana First.

He highlighted that the Ghana First Party will prioritise the needs of ordinary citizens.

“We all know that the two biggest political parties in the country, the NPP and the NDC, always dominate the political space. As a result, if not NPP, then NDC will win power. That is why we have thought about bringing a third force to compete with them. We are bringing a party that thinks about the traders, a party that can bring tourism and all developments,” Agya Koo told the media.

However, Last year, Agya Koo called for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to return to power, citing claims that Ghanaians are happy under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.

He claimed that NPP must come back to power, and Ghanaians are crying.

In a social media post on September 17, 2025, Agya Koo stated, “Ghanaians are not happy with President Mahama, and many are calling for the NPP government to return to power. They say things have changed as compared to the tenure of former President Akufo-Addo, and if that is how the people feel, then indeed the NPP must come back to power. But the question is, who do we present?”

“You all know that I am an actor, a comedian, and a musician, but please, do not insult me, because I speak with good intentions. I only echo the concerns of the people,” he said.
