• Kumawood actor Agya Koo has criticised Ghana’s direction under President John Mahama’s leadership
• He claimed the country is regressing and has urged Ghanaians to support the NPP in the 2028 elections
• Agya Koo endorsed Kennedy Agyapong as the ideal candidate to return Ghana to a better path

Popular Ghanaian Kumawood actor, Agya Koo, has suggested that Ghana is regressing under the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, led by President John Mahama.

While speaking on issues of national interest, the renowned actor expressed disappointment with the country's recent trajectory under President Mahama’s leadership.

"The country has taken a different turn, regressing from where former president Akufo-Addo left it. This is not what we envisioned. The current state of the nation has left many feeling disheartened," he said.

Agya Koo endorses Kennedy Agyapong

For this reason, Agya Koo, known in private circles as Kofi Adu, stated that Ghanaians are crying for the return of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2028.

He further suggested that the NPP stands a better chance of winning the 2028 election if it presents a strong candidate like Kennedy Agyapong.

According to him, among all the aspirants who have filed nominations to contest the NPP flagbearer race, slated for January 31, 2026, Kennedy Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has the potential to steer Ghana back on track from its current trajectory.

He consequently urged delegates of the NPP to vote massively for Kennedy Agyapong to lead the party to victory in 2028.

“So we believe the NPP, led by a strong leader like Kennedy Agyapong, could bring the country back on track. So dear delegate, let’s try our best, then vote for Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong to win us power in 2028,” he added.

"Say you're crying. Which Ghanaians? Nkwasiansem sei."

@Courage NY MacCarthy commented:

"It appears that we reside in a nation where divisions along political and social lines are prevalent. Following an election, unity seems elusive, and instead of focusing on national progress, there's a tendency to undermine the existing government to implement preferred ideologies. What a situation we find ourselves in."

@Hattoh Wisdom Patrick also commented:

"If you are using Nana addo governance to campaign, then 28.2% is waiting for you in the next election."
