In a viral video sighted 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.
In a couple of videos shared by Gossip24tv following the launch, the Kumawood actor, who was in his white party-branded T-shirt, is believed to have stormed Accra to officially register his political party.
The Kumawood actor was spotted with security officers and a group of people who were also in the branded attire. In a follow-up video, the actor stormed one of Ghana's big markets, Kantamanto, for a purported campaign.
Following the launch, rumours went viral that the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Asin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, was behind the new Party.
Speaking in an “on call” interview, Agya Koo denied the claims, stating that the former NP is not affiliated in any way.
According to him, Kennedy Agyapong has not even thought about supporting them in any way.
The Kumawood star claimed the political party was established to create a strong association so that in future, when Ghanaians choose the party over NPP and NDC, they would look for someone who can lead the party to presidential elections.

“If indeed Kennedy Agyapong is not involved, then it's good, but if the base is for him, he should be careful. He might ruin his political career.”
