In a viral video that was seen by YEN.com.gh on April 12, 2026, Agya Koo announced the establishment of a new political movement, the Ghana First Party (GFP).

According to the veteran actor, the new party sought to end the duopoly of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and provide an alternative for Ghanaians.

He emphasised that the need for a third force in Ghana's political landscape to address the shortcomings of both the NDC and NPP influenced his decision to start the new movement.

Speaking on his vision for the Ghana First Party, he noted that individuals from the sixteen regions had expressed their intent to join him in establishing the new political party.

Agya Koo explained that the new party sought to prioritise the needs of ordinary Ghanaians, especially traders, while also promoting tourism and development across the country.

He said:

"The base Ghana First is a coalition from all 16 regions that is aiming to become a future political party and join the already existing big parties."
"We all know that the biggest political parties, NPP and NDC, are all Ghanaians and always dominate the political landscape. They always win power."
"That is why we have considered launching a third force to compete with the two parties and keep them alert. We are bringing a party that prioritises the needs of traders and promotes tourism and development."
