Popular Ghanaian actor Agya Koo has announced plans to establish a new political movement, the Ghana First Party, aimed at challenging the dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a media interview, he said the initiative is intended to serve as a third force in Ghana’s political space, breaking the long-standing two-party dominance.

He disclosed that groundwork is ongoing nationwide, with all sixteen regions expected to be involved in forming the party.

According to him, the Ghana First Party will focus on the concerns of ordinary citizens, particularly traders, while promoting tourism and national development.

“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 said.

Agya Koo’s move marks a shift into active politics, although he has previously been involved in political advocacy. He openly supported the NPP in past elections, campaigning and endorsing its policies and leadership.
