Veteran Ghanaian sound engineer and music producer, Fred Kyei Mensah, popularly known as Fredyma, has dismissed the newly announced political movement by actor Alexander Kofi Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo, saying it is unlikely to succeed in Ghana’s political space.
Fredyma made the remarks during an interview on Starr Showbiz with Feeling Daddy on Starr 103.5 FM on Saturday, April 18, 2026, where he reacted to discussions around the emerging Ghana First Party (also referred as “The Base”).
He argued that the country’s political landscape remains firmly dominated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), suggesting that new entrants struggle to gain traction.
“Ghana for now is NDC and NPP. Forget it. All the other tangents… it will not end anywhere. Oh yes, it will not end anywhere,” he said.
Fredyma further questioned the viability of the movement, saying efforts to establish new political platforms often fail due to weak foundations and strategic motives that go beyond winning power.
“The base… for where? You go to an election, you are part… it will amount to nothing,” he stated.
He suggested that some of the emerging political groups may be positioning themselves to gain influence or bargaining power rather than genuinely competing for governance.

“This is a facade. I foresee it as something for them to have a position that, yeah, it’s also something to stick in the political space. So anytime there’s going to be an election, you have to come and see them to negotiate with them,” he said.
Fredyma also referenced what he described as the financial and organisational demands of building a political party, arguing that without strong structures nationwide, such movements are unlikely to last.
“For it to have a new party, have party offices all around the country… it’s not a joke. You need maybe two years to the next election,” he noted.
He contrasted the current political structure with Ghana’s long-established parties, saying the dominance of the NDC and NPP has remained consistent since the Fourth Republic began in 1992.
“Those names… NDC, NPP… that’s what is going to stay for a very long time,” he added.
The comments come in the wake of Agya Koo’s announcement of plans to launch the Ghana First Party, which he says is aimed at breaking the long-standing dominance of the two major political parties.
Fredyma, however, maintained that such movements have historically struggled to gain lasting relevance, insisting the current political structure remains deeply entrenched.
