Arriving at the Accra High Court for the adjourned hearing of the "Base" name dispute, the actor-turned-politician shared his perspective on his growing reputation outside of the movie industry.
Agya Koo suggested that his years of visibility and his recent move to lead a new political movement have elevated him to the same status as traditional politicians.
"Because of the work we are doing, if they mention names of politicians, they mention my name," he stated confidently. He stressed that this recognition is not accidental but a result of years of consistent work behind the scenes and on the ground.

The Base Ghana First remains active - Agya Koo
Addressing the legal battle over the name and branding of his organisation, Agya Koo clarified that the court case has not slowed down their operations. He noted that The Base Ghana First LBG is a legally recognised entity and continues to expand its reach across the country.
"The Base, regardless of the court case, is working profusely as they are officially registered," he added, signalling that the movement is looking beyond the courtroom toward the next election cycle.
Agya Koo’s political journey took a significant turn in early 2026 when he broke away from his long-standing support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to form a new group.
While some critics, like veteran sound engineer Fredyma, have questioned the viability of new political movements in an NDC-NPP-dominated landscape, Agya Koo’s supporters argue that his personal brand is strong enough to "break the duopoly".
