‘The Base Ghana First’ hit with a lawsuit

The Base Ghana First has been hit with a lawsuit over the alleged misuse of a name and branding.

Reports suggest that the “Base Ghana First LBG” filed a lawsuit at the High Court in Accra against “The Base Movement,” seeking an injunction over the “passing off” and misrepresentation.

Richard Yaw Boateng, the lawyer for the plaintiff, detailed that the dispute stems from internal disagreements that led to its formation in March 2026, leading to the split within The Base Movement.

According to court documents, the chairman of the defendant organisation individually suspended activities by dissolving leadership structures, creating a new executive council outside established regulations.

They also allege that the breakaway group has continued to use the name “The Base Ghana First” on official materials, souvenirs, and signage, which they said has created confusion.

“The Defendant is misleading the public, followers and potential investors… with the intent of riding at the back of the Plaintiff Company,” the filing stated.

The “Base Ghana First LBG” is seeking a perpetual injunction to stop the alleged use of its name and branding, as well as damages and legal costs.

The High Court, on April 19, 2026, in a writ ordered the defendant to enter an appearance within eight days.

In related news, some members of the  Base Party, identifying themselves as the Base Queens, have disclosed that their aim is to bring the defeated New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Ken Agyapong to lead them.

According to the Base Queens, Ken Agyapong is the best candidate for president.

They further called on Ghanaians to join their efforts as they work towards getting him into power.

Speaking in a viral video, the members of the Base Party stated, “We aim to bring Ken Agyapong from the NPP to come and lead us. Today, the Base Queens are going to bring Kennedy Agyapong for him to lead the Base. The youths rise up, whether you are NDC or NPP, come.

Today, you can see what the young man is doing in Burkina. If it were in Ghana, we would not vote for him, but today, have you seen the things he is doing?”.

Kennedy Agyapong said he will use five regions to develop Ghana. Everyone should rise up so we can vote out both the NDC and NPP,” she added.

However, the spokesperson, Ken Agyapong, Kwasi Kwarteng, has debunked reports claiming his boss has broken away from the party.

According to Kwasi Kwarteng, Ken Agyapong has not and will not break away from the NPP.

In a post shared on social media, Kwasi Kwarteng wrote, “ Hon Ken Ohene Agyapong has not and will not break away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in freedom)”.

Meanwhile, Agya Koo, a Veteran Ghanaian actor, long known as a staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was in the news some days ago as he hit 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.
