Producer and Actor, Agya Koo, has announced the formation of a new political movement, the Ghana First Party, aimed at reshaping the country’s political landscape.
He described the initiative as a coalition seeking to provide an alternative to the dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking in an interview with the media, Agya Koo said all 16 regions are preparing to contribute to the establishment of the Ghana First Party, signalling what he described as a nationwide effort to build a strong third political force.
He explained that the movement is designed to prioritise the needs of ordinary citizens, particularly traders, while also promoting tourism and development across the country.
“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 it to bring 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,” he stated.
Agya Koo, widely recognised for his contributions to the country’s film industry, has previously been associated with the NPP and supported Kennedy Agyapong during the party’s presidential primaries.
